大般涅槃經集解 5.78

5.78

Daosheng comments: Taking shame and conscience as clothes. If one says the Buddha is conditioned, one lacks shame and conscience. Vowing not to commit it again is allegorized as shame and conscience. Returning to declare the Buddha permanent to cover his former deficiency is allegorized as wrapping the body. Tanji says: Wrapping the understanding of permanence with words that protect permanence.
