大般涅槃經集解 18.53

18.53

Sengliang says: "This answers the question on 'fully perfecting correct goodness' by extensively explaining the inversions. Desiring to make the four truths fully complete, he further explains the four inversions; hence, this is propagation." Sengzong says: "Above, the object was adduced to clarify wisdom; here, delusion is clarified to reveal understanding. To extensively reveal the characteristics of understanding, he first lists the characteristics of delusion; when clarified through the doctrine, it is thereby made evident. It is also like the passage on the three cultivations above: about to explain superior cultivation, he first listed the eight inversions." Baoliang says: "This answers the ninth question, next clarifying false principles." Zhixiu says: "Above, he discriminated the four truths to lead beings to produce understanding. However, true understanding is difficult to produce, and beings tend to form perverse attachments; when they attach, it forms an inversion."
