大般涅槃經集解 30.40

30.40

Sengliang comments: Since in receiving the punishment he does not take the single stroke as pleasure, pleasure is not erroneous. When the Buddha says that pleasure is truly not false, it is because avoiding receipt is taken as pleasure; one cannot speak of pleasure out of thin air. Tan'ai says: Kāśyapa's comprehension is not an objection, and the Buddha immediately affirms it. Baoliang says: He explains the third meaning of 'real pleasure'. The suffering within the three evil paths truly does not exist in humans and devas; how does this state of absence differ from the Buddha? Therefore, we know that it is not a false statement.
