大般涅槃經集解 8.92

8.92

案僧宗曰：昔教明二種人，有病必不可治。此經所明，悉皆能治，由經力勝，亦歎教也。寶亮曰：明闡提、逆罪、謗法三人，畢竟不能進也，菩薩畢竟能去。聲聞之人，遇善友者則進、不遇則退，明不畢竟。下餘半偈，還請佛解釋也。曇纖曰：下文有餘偈等，謂有餘者則不畢竟，無餘者即是畢竟。答此問也。結答云「唯除助道常樂善法，其餘一切者，有餘無餘」也。

Sengzong states: The former teaching explained two kinds of people whose illness was definitely incurable. What this sūtra explains can all be cured; because the power of the sūtra is superior, this also praises the teaching. Baoliang states: It explains that icchantikas, those who commit deadly transgressions, and those who slander the Dharma—these three persons—are definitively unable to advance, whereas bodhisattvas are definitively able to proceed. People of the Śrāvaka vehicle, if they meet a good friend, advance; if they do not meet one, they regress—explaining the non-final. The remaining half-gāthā below turns to request the Buddha to explain this. Tanxian states: The remaining gāthās and so forth below mean that what has remainder is non-final, while what is without remainder is final. This answers this question. The concluding answer says: "Excluding only the auxiliary path and the permanent, blissful, good dharmas, all the rest have remainder or are without remainder."
