大般涅槃經義記 6.271

6.271

歎利他中，「大慈大悲」歎利他心，「隨善生」下歎利他行。行分三業：「隨善生」等歎佛身業；「知時說」等歎佛口業，佛口業中，「知時而說，非時不說」語能應機。實語至一，語體清淨，「實語淨語」明不妄語，當事名實，稱相曰淨，「妙語」一種明不惡口，「義語法語」明不綺語，語能益人名為義語，語能稱法故曰法語，「一語」明其不兩舌也，「令生離惱」語能益物；「知生根」等歎佛意業，知生根性，曉物心器。下知法藥，「隨宜方便無不通達」是方便智，「其智高」等是佛實智，位極名高，智能窮法名深名廣，智能滅障，故如金剛破一切惡。「今」下示處。

In the praise of benefiting others, "great benevolence and great compassion" praises his mind to benefit others; from "following the birth of good" onward praises his actions to benefit others. Actions are divided into the three karmas: "following the birth of good" and so forth praises the Buddha's bodily karma; "speaking knowing the proper time" and so forth praises the Buddha's verbal karma. Within the Buddha's verbal karma, "speaking knowing the proper time, not speaking when it is not the time" means his speech can respond to faculties; "true speech" up to "singular speech" means the substance of his speech is pure: "true speech and pure speech" explains that he does not speak falsely—corresponding to the matter is called "true," and according with the mark is called "pure"; "wondrous speech" alone explains that he does not speak harshly; "meaningful speech and dharma speech" explains that he does not speak frivolously—speech that can benefit people is called "meaningful speech," and speech that can accord with the Dharma is therefore called "dharma speech"; "singular speech" explains that he is not double-tongued; "causing beings to be free from distress" means his speech can benefit beings. "Knowing the faculties of beings" and so forth praises the Buddha's mental karma: knowing beings' dispositions and faculties, and understanding the mental vessels of creatures. Below, he knows the Dharma medicine: "adapting expedient means according to suitability, leaving nothing uncomprehended" is his expedient wisdom; "his wisdom is high" and so forth is the Buddha's real wisdom—his stage being supreme is called "high," his wisdom being able to fathom dharmas is called "deep" and "broad," and his wisdom being able to extinguish hindrances is therefore like a diamond destroying all evils. From "now" onward, he shows the location.
