大般涅槃經集解 7.106

7.106

案僧亮曰：此第四譬也。今正是時者，五人應悟之時也。有愛念者，感理冥會，令無差也。當求一願者，惑從相起，觀空則滅。空理無二，故云一也。法瑤曰：佛唯化是願。但化遂由乎眾生，義言求也。曇濟曰：一願者，譬一空門也。僧宗曰：第四譬也。是說四諦，除耶我之時至也。一願者，世尊所應說者，常與無常、大之與小，今日未得雙說，故言一也。于時正在三七日思惟，知眾生有從化之理，願得遂也。

Sengliang comments: This is the fourth parable. 'Now is precisely the time' refers to the time when the five people were to awaken. 'Cherish me' means responding to the principle in hidden accord, so that there is no error. 'I would ask for one wish': delusion arises from signs, and when emptiness is contemplated, it is extinguished. The principle of emptiness is non-dual; hence it is called 'one'. Fayao says: The Buddha's sole wish is transformation. But the fulfillment of transformation depends on sentient beings, so it is figuratively said that he 'asks'. Tanji says: 'One wish' symbolizes the one gate of emptiness. Sengzong says: The fourth parable. The time arrived to expound the four truths and eradicate the deviant self. As for the 'one wish', regarding what the World-Honoured One ought to expound—the permanent and the impermanent, the great and the small—at this time he could not yet expound both together, so it is called 'one'. At that time, he was precisely in the three seven-day periods of contemplation, knowing that sentient beings possessed the principle of following transformation, so the wish could be fulfilled.
