大般涅槃經集解 13.46

13.46

Sengliang notes: Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the roots of all suffering, so they are clarified first. Mentioning death twice means that the former clarifies dying of old age, while the latter clarifies dying of sickness. Mingjun notes: Below, this expands on the full endowment of the eight flavors from the 'Chapter on the Virtues of the Name.' The previous text only said that the fifth is not aging and the sixth is not dying, omitting birth and sickness; here it fully relates the four afflictions.
