大般涅槃經集解 28.34

28.34

Sengliang comments: Regarding the 'three marks': painful feeling is intrinsically painful and can afflict sentient beings; this is called the suffering of suffering. Neither-painful-nor-pleasant [feeling], in that it involves striving and seeking, is the suffering of conditioning. When pleasant feeling ceases, pain arises; this is the suffering of change. Sengzong comments: The third cycle explains the meaning of suffering, all contained within it. When it says 'origination refers to the twenty-five realms of existence', it identifies what is accumulated to illuminate that which accumulates. Baoliang comments: This is the third cycle. Formerly, in converting those of lower dullness, the teaching gate of the three feelings was opened; next, the three feelings are deconstructed by means of the three sufferings. The severe form of suffering is the suffering of suffering. By means of the result destroying the cause, it illuminates that the intrinsic reality of pleasant feeling is itself suffering; hence it is called the suffering of change. Extending through the previous two minds, the mind's conditioning and stirring in pursuit is called the suffering of conditioning. The cause of the twenty-five realms of existence is the truth of origination, their result is the truth of cessation, and cultivating morality, concentration, and wisdom is the truth of the path.
