大般涅槃經集解 61.1

61.1

廣辨轉障義　廣釋修身義舉四蛇一篋為喻　廣釋修戒義　廣釋修心義　廣釋修慧義　重明修身戒心慧義　重明轉重為輕轉輕為重義　師子吼重舉六事為難謂不須修道　佛舉恒河七人譬明應須修道廣答前難　明佛性常故不在因中如十二因緣無定住處

Broadly distinguishing the meaning of transforming obstacles; broadly explaining the meaning of cultivating the body by adducing the simile of four snakes in a single basket; broadly explaining the meaning of cultivating precepts; broadly explaining the meaning of cultivating the mind; broadly explaining the meaning of cultivating wisdom; reiterating the meaning of cultivating body, precepts, mind, and wisdom; reiterating the meaning of transforming the heavy into the light and transforming the light into the heavy; Siṃhanāda reiterating six matters as objections claiming there is no need to cultivate the path; the Buddha adducing the simile of the seven persons in the Ganges to clarify that one must cultivate the path, broadly answering the previous objections; clarifying that because the buddhadhātu is permanent, it is not within the cause, just as the twelve links of dependent origination have no fixed abiding place.
