大般涅槃經集解 37.12

37.12

Sengliang states: Five matters prove loving-kindness. This first one clarifies that although the objective realm is not real, things obtain real benefit. Just as through gold one obtains joy, earth becomes gold. If there were no gold to produce joy, gold would be no different from earth. Small and large accommodate each other; in terms of the actual matter, all are real, and their function is obtained.
