大般涅槃經集解 6.21

6.21

案僧亮曰：以慈愍故，是以現滅。備之前文。但凡夫愛緣悲重，不可理悟；今偏告比丘，以厲諸人也。寶亮曰：此下第二勸也。有三意：第一戒時眾：第二總因果中勸：第三勸捨昔日所得，修今伊字也。此即第一對比丘，戒凡夫也。諸佛法爾者，有感則應，感盡歸真也。樂不放逸者，教令持戒守心。正憶念者其修定，下句修慧也。智秀曰：此下第三段，正舉諸法述佛本意勸令問也。有三別：第一將欲使問，先兩偈止其亂心也；第二廣舉諸法勸問；第三更舉異緣勸問。此即第一，止其哀亂也。

Sengliang states: "It is out of compassionate pity that he manifests extinction. This has been fully explained in the preceding text. Ordinary beings, however, are attached to conditions of affection and heavy in sorrow, unable to awaken to the principle. Now he specifically addresses the monks in order to encourage the assembly." Baoliang states: "Below is the second [section], the exhortation. It has three meanings: first, admonishing the contemporary assembly; second, a general exhortation regarding cause and fruit; third, exhorting them to abandon what they previously attained and cultivate the present letter *i*. This is the first, facing the monks to admonish ordinary beings. 'Such is the nature of all Buddhas': where there is an evocative condition, there is a response; when the condition is exhausted, he returns to the real. 'Delighting in diligence' instructs them to uphold the precepts and guard the mind. 'Mindfully recollecting' is their cultivation of concentration; the following phrase is their cultivation of wisdom." Zhixiu states: "Below is the third section, directly setting forth all dharmas and stating the Buddha's original intention to urge them to question. It has three distinct parts: first, intending to have them question, he first uses two verses to stop their distracted minds; second, he broadly sets forth all dharmas to urge questioning; third, he further sets forth other conditions to urge questioning. This is the first, stopping their grief and distraction."
