大般涅槃經義記 3.77

3.77

第二像時弘護益中，文別有二：一明四依於像法時弘護利益；二「有惡比丘聞我」已下顯經殊勝，令人愛樂，憑依習學。

In the second part, regarding the benefits of propagating and protecting during the Semblance [Dharma] era, the text is divided into two: first, it explains the benefits of propagating and protecting by the four reliances during the Semblance Dharma era; second, from "there are evil monks who hear of my [nirvāṇa]" downward reveals the excellence of the sūtra, causing people to cherish and rejoice in it, and rely upon it to study and practice.
