大般涅槃經義記 5.269

5.269

下嘆比丘所修之行，「善哉利他」嘆其外化，餘嘆自利。自中，具有八大人覺，今此偏嘆少欲、知足、寂靜三行，餘略不嘆。餘皆初問，次辨，後結，文中可知。「若能」已下總結知法。

Below, he praises the practices cultivated by the monks: "Well done! Benefiting others" praises their external transformation [of others], while the rest praise self-benefit. Within self-benefit, all eight awarenesses of great persons are present, but here he selectively praises the three practices of having few desires, knowing contentment, and tranquility, omitting the praise of the rest. The rest all have a question first, next analysis, and then a conclusion, which may be known in the text. From "If one can" onward is the general conclusion on knowing the Dharma.
