大般涅槃經義記 4.53

4.53

自下第二入證所依，於中有二：一明菩薩依經見性，答上問中「云何菩薩見難、見性」；二「種種異論皆佛說」下明諸菩薩依字解經，答上問中「云何解滿字及與半字義」。初中有三：一明菩薩依經見性、二「迦葉白甚奇」已下明二乘人依經見性、三「迦葉白佛非聖凡夫有生性」下明凡夫人依經見性。初之一分正答前問，後二乘辨，此三分中皆初明其佛性難見，後明能見。

From here below, the second part concerns that upon which entering realization relies, within which there are two parts: first, explaining that bodhisattvas see the nature relying on the sūtra, answering the question above, 'How do bodhisattvas see what is difficult to see, seeing the nature?'; second, from 'all the various diverse treatises are spoken by the Buddha' downward, explaining that bodhisattvas understand the sūtra relying on letters, answering the question above, 'How do they understand the meaning of complete letters and half letters?' In the first part there are three: first, explaining that bodhisattvas see the nature relying on the sūtra; second, from 'Kāśyapa addressed the Buddha: Extraordinary!' downward, explaining that persons of the two vehicles see the nature relying on the sūtra; third, from 'Kāśyapa addressed the Buddha: Non-noble ordinary beings have the nature of origination' downward, explaining that ordinary beings see the nature relying on the sūtra. The first division directly answers the preceding question, while the latter two are addressed in connection. Within these three divisions, each first explains that the buddha-nature is difficult to see, and then explains the capacity to see it.
