大般涅槃經義記 5.111

5.111

第二難中，假舉他問，請佛教答。如來若說下苦生樂，他若反並一切皆樂，但諸眾生於下樂中生於苦想，於中樂中生無苦樂想，於上樂中方生樂想，當云何答？

In the second objection, hypothecating another's question, he requests the Buddha to teach an answer. If the Tathāgata says that inferior suffering produces pleasure, then if someone else conversely poses that everything is pleasure, but sentient beings merely give rise to the notion of suffering within inferior pleasure, give rise to the notion of neither-suffering-nor-pleasure within middling pleasure, and only give rise to the notion of pleasure within superior pleasure, how should one answer?
