大般涅槃經義記 3.225

3.225

初中有五：一明諸罪受報無限，勸人防護。二「有律師」下明其宣說無罪報人不應親近。三「如佛說」下舉佛昔言成前叵親，先舉昔言。「若過一」者，謂說戒時誦過一戒。「名妄語」者，於此時中有罪覆藏名默妄語。「不見後」者，謂此妄語不招當苦名不見後，以不見故諸罪皆覆名「無惡不造」。「是故」已下結成叵親，是於如是默妄語罪不見後世，便於諸惡無不造故。向前宣說都無罪報不應親近。此第三竟。四「我法」下舉輕況重成前有罪。「我佛法中清淨如是」是舉輕也，乃至默妄突吉羅罪亦悉不聽，故云「我法清淨如是」。「況復」已下以輕況重成重有罪。五「是故」下結勸防護，初先勸護，「如是等法若不守」下呵人不護。

Within the first, there are five [points]: first, clarifying that the retribution undergone for various offenses is limitless, urging people to guard against them. Second, from "There are vinaya masters" and below clarifies that one should not associate closely with persons who expound that there is no retribution for offenses. Third, from "As the Buddha said" and below raises the Buddha's past words to corroborate that the preceding [person] should not be associated with; first it raises the past words: "If one exceeds one" refers to reciting past one precept during the recitation of the precepts; "called a false speech" refers to having an offense and concealing it at this time, which is called a silent false speech; "not seeing what comes after" refers to this false speech not incurring future suffering, which is called not seeing what comes after, and because one does not see it, all offenses are concealed, which is called "there is no evil one will not commit." From "For this reason" and below concludes that one should not associate closely with them, because regarding such an offense of silent false speech, they do not see the future life, and thus among various evils there is none they do not commit. One should not associate closely with those who previously expounded that there is utterly no retribution for offenses. This concludes the third. Fourth, from "My Dharma" and below raises the minor to illustrate the major, corroborating the preceding existence of offenses. "In my Buddhadharma it is pure like this" is raising the minor, for even a duṣkṛta offense of silent falsehood is not permitted at all, hence it says, "My Dharma is pure like this." From "How much more" and below uses the minor to illustrate the major, establishing that the major has offenses. Fifth, from "For this reason" and below concludes with an exhortation to guard [against them]; first it urges guarding, and from "If such dharmas are not guarded" and below rebukes those who do not guard [them].
