大般涅槃經義記 4.2

4.2

上來第一教示三歸，趣入之始；自下第二教其中道，趣入之終。於中，初先法說以教，「如因乳」下喻說以教。法中有四：一許教趣入、二「若我住」下正教趣入、三「我與無我性無二」下結勸受持、四「我先於」下引說證成。初言「我今更為汝說入如來藏」許教入也，對前云「更」，更說在後是以言「當」，委說名善，顯實令證，名說入藏。

The above was the first part, teaching and indicating the Three Refuges, which is the beginning of entry; next is the second part, teaching their Middle Way, which is the consummation of entry. Therein, first it teaches by means of a doctrinal exposition; from 'as based on milk' onward, it teaches by means of metaphors. In the doctrinal exposition there are four sections: first, promising to teach the entry; second, from 'if self abides' onward, directly teaching the entry; third, from 'self and selflessness are non-dual in nature' onward, concluding with an encouragement to accept and uphold it; fourth, from 'I previously, in' onward, citing teachings to confirm and establish it. First, 'I now shall further teach you the entry into the tathāgatagarbha' promises to teach the entry; 'further' is said in contrast to what came before; because the further teaching comes afterward, it says 'shall'; detailed exposition is called 'well'; revealing the real to enable realization is called teaching the entry into the garbha.
