大般涅槃經集解 43.30

43.30

Sengliang notes: He explains the secret words. The first four lines set forth the matters undertaken; the latter two lines state that nirvāṇa is not extinction, and one should not swoon because of the Buddha's extinction. Baoliang says: He resolves the doubts of the time. It is not merely for one person, but also for all who have not yet understood the permanent [nature]. Zhixiu says: From here down there are seven distinct parts, clarifying the Buddha emitting light to guide the king to come to the Buddha, and the Buddha preaching the Dharma for him to eliminate the king's offenses. When reaching there, [the text] itself will speak of the seven matters. This is the first: first proclaiming the secret words.
