大般涅槃經集解 6.53

6.53

Sengliang states: An ordinary physician’s compassion is shallow, yet he still does not abandon the sick; how much less should the supreme physician transcending the world fail to save us? Fayao states: The preceding analogy clarified that they had not yet attained vimokṣa; this analogy clarifies that they have not yet attained prajñā. Sengzong states: Although the śrāvakas have severed coarse fetters, the subtle ones still remain. The Buddha is a skilled master of incantations; the previous analogy clarified afflictions as effects, while this analogy clarifies afflictions as causes.
