大般涅槃經義記 1.98

1.98

第二段中，明己為護受法之人，說呪以防。人通真偽，為道、為人，名之為真；為身、為財，說以為偽。文中具論應有三分：一舉其真、二辯其偽、三「或真偽」下雙牒真偽。彰己為說，文但有二，略不舉真。偽者尚為，真則亡言，故略不舉。偽中有五：「為供養」者，為得衣食、臥具、湯、藥四事供養，受持經法；「為怖畏」者，畏現諸苦當來惡道；「為誑他」者，欺誑他人令其敬己；「為財利」者，為得金銀倉庫等物；「為隨他」者，為他抑遣，自無誠意。為斯五事，受是大乘，所以名偽。通則受於一切經法，斯皆是偽。今對此經，且云受大，偽乃無量，且舉斯五。五中怖畏，一向為身；供養財利，一向為財。誑他、隨他，通為身財。下牒所為，或真牒前所少真也、或偽牒上所辯偽也。我為是人除畏說呪，總明為說。益事非一，除畏功強，是以偏舉。

In the second section, it clarifies that to protect those who receive the Dharma, he speaks the spell as a safeguard. People are either genuine or false: those who act for the Way and for others are called genuine; those who act for the body and for wealth are said to be false. Fully analyzed, the text should have three parts: first, citing the genuine; second, analyzing the false; third, from "whether genuine or false" downward, repeating both the genuine and the false. In showing that he speaks [the spell] for them, the text only has two, omitting the citation of the genuine. Since he still acts for the false, the genuine goes without saying; hence it is omitted. Among the false there are five kinds: "for the sake of offerings" means receiving and upholding the sūtra teachings in order to obtain the four requisites of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine; "for the sake of fear" means fearing present sufferings and future evil destinies; "for the sake of deceiving others" means deceiving others to make them revere oneself; "for the sake of wealth and profit" means in order to gain gold, silver, storehouses, and so forth; "for the sake of conforming to others" means being pressured by others without having sincere intention oneself. It is for these five matters that they receive this Great Vehicle, and therefore they are called false. Broadly speaking, receiving any sūtra teachings under these conditions is false. Here, in reference to this sūtra, it temporarily speaks of receiving the Great [Vehicle]. The false are indeed immeasurable, but these five are temporarily cited. Among the five, fear is entirely for the sake of the body; offerings and wealth are entirely for the sake of wealth; deceiving others and conforming to others are for both body and wealth. Below, it repeats those for whom it is done: "or genuine" repeats the genuine that was previously omitted; "or false" repeats the false analyzed above. "I speak the spell to dispel fear for these people" generally explains speaking it for them. The beneficial matters are not one, but the power of dispelling fear is potent, which is why it is singled out.
