大般涅槃經集解 59.6

59.6

Sengliang comments: "Capacities of faculties differ, yet both are clinging; however, Kauṇḍinya heard of impermanence and thereby received the Way, while the six masters, on account of self and bliss, returned to the truth. Hearing of 'self', they rejoiced in agreement, and thus explained their own understanding to aggrandize themselves. Yet this explanation—that what is non-matter is the self—supposedly differed from the Buddha's understanding." Baoliang comments: "The exchange here is no different from the case of Śreṇika below; it was only that they still possessed followers and had not yet submitted. When their factions were entirely exhausted, the ten masters then openly underwent subjugation and returned to the correct path."
