大般涅槃經集解 55.16

55.16

案僧宗曰：雪山譬佛，草譬《涅槃經》。上說倒障，不見佛性；今說所以有障，不讀《涅槃經》故也。僧宗曰：第六翻，上雖明十力無畏，但果去人遠。寶亮曰：第二翻，眾生雖復當時有具不具，要始終經理三世中得言悉成就有十二，明佛性亦然，未來必有也。

Sengzong comments: The Snow Mountains are an analogy for the Buddha; the grass is an analogy for the Nirvāṇa Sūtra. Above, it explained that the obstruction of inversion prevents one from seeing the buddhadhātu; here it explains that the reason there are obstructions is due to not reading the Nirvāṇa Sūtra. Sengzong comments: In the sixth turn, although the ten powers and fearlessnesses were explained above, the fruit remains distant from humans. Baoliang comments: In the second turn, although sentient beings may at any given time be complete or incomplete, taking the whole process through the three times, it can be said that they all accomplish the twelve [links]; this clarifies that the buddhadhātu is also like this: it will definitely exist in the future.
