大般涅槃經集解 6.19

6.19

Fayao states: "This simile clarifies that one's own practice and study have only just begun and the dharmakāya is not yet perfected. One therefore requests the Buddha to abide in the world, so that by questioning and practicing under him, the dharmakāya may be attained." Tanji states: "If one has compassion, one ought to rescue [beings from] suffering; now that he abandons them in their suffering, how can he be said to possess compassion?"
