大般涅槃經集解 69.52

69.52

Sengliang comments: Although one attains contemplations such as non-self, when hungry one needs food and when cold one desires clothes, and thus afflictions arise. Because food engenders greed, one contemplates food first. "Like a flayed cow": whatever touches it brings suffering. "Like a mass of fire": wishing and aspiring for future existence; future existence is like fire. "Three hundred spears": consciousness originally delights in conditions, yet all conditions are suffering.
