大般涅槃經集解 24.78

24.78

Sengliang states: He wishes to cause others to speak of different views, revealing the Tathāgata’s esoteric power—all of which pertains to knowing the dharmatā and experiencing bliss. There are two turns: this first one asks Kāśyapa. Baoliang states: Regarding Kāśyapa’s answer, there are five points: first, seeing very many Buddhas; second, seeing the seat to be extremely small and yet able to accommodate them; third, seeing that the great assembly each, following the Buddha, spoke thirteen verses; fourth, seeing that each within the great assembly thought in their hearts, "Only I alone have obtained the offering to Śākyamuni"; fifth, seeing that although Cunda's offering was small and meager, it was sufficient for the great assembly.
