大般涅槃經義記 4.273

4.273

In the former part, he first explains the practices by which a person who commits a grave offense can be saved; the practices are divided into five: first, feeling shame, reproaching oneself, and generating a mind of repentance and reform; second, giving rise to the intention to protect the Dharma; third, seeing one who protects the Dharma and personally going to make offerings to them; fourth, seeing one who reads and recites and personally going to listen and receive it; fifth, having mastered it oneself, explaining it extensively for others. From "I say..." below makes clear that they can be saved, within which the Tathāgata first says that such a person is not considered to have broken the precepts. From "Why?" below explains: because sins are eradicated by means of the sūtra, they do not break the precepts; first an analogy, next the application, and from "Therefore..." below is the conclusion.
