大般涅槃經集解 18.103

18.103

Sengliang states: Pointing to the time of partial cultivation, where the higher cultivation of the path should reach, they cannot yet practice permanence. Fayao states: These are figurative words. They illustrate that sentient beings focus on benefiting themselves and lack the way of universal transformation; hence it says 'cannot'. Baoliang states: Sentient beings having clung to permanence for long cannot immediately believe in impermanence. Daohui's notes state: These are words of non-faith. One must clearly recognize that the principle of the nature exists, and only then can one apply oneself diligently in practice.
