大般涅槃經集解 67.72

67.72

案僧亮曰：增善為第三，增惡為第二。於同行中自以為勝者，同己所見為人中勝也。寶亮曰：釋五事既竟，先明第二人之過，後彰第三人之德。一增善法者，釋第三人。一增惡法者，釋第二人也。第二人不能求近善友，故改造惡入生死，成暫出還沒。此人若深自知見行不具足，則求進成第三住人也。

Sengliang states: Increasing goodness applies to the third person; increasing evil applies to the second. 'Considering oneself superior among fellow practitioners' means taking what accords with one's own view as being superior among people. Baoliang states: Having finished explaining the five matters, he first clarifies the fault of the second person, and then reveals the virtue of the third person. 'One increases good dharmas' explains the third person. 'One increases evil dharmas' explains the second person. The second person cannot seek closeness to good spiritual friends, and therefore turns around to create evil and enter birth-and-death, becoming one who emerges briefly and submerges again. If this person deeply knows and sees his own incompleteness in practice, he then strives to advance and becomes the third person who stays.
