大般涅槃經集解 43.44

43.44

Sengzong says: From here down is the sixth [part], speaking an analogy to comfort the king and urge him to go. Baoliang says: Preaching the Dharma for icchantikas has three intentions in total, like a physician treating a sick person: first, to remove present suffering; second, to dispel the accidental suffering of relatives; third, to put an end to outsiders' slander. The application of the analogy is like this, as can be known.
