大般涅槃經義記 7.153

7.153

上來四段合為第一勸人持經以離惡漏，自下第二觀惡得失失者偏離，先出惡體，「如是」等下辯其得失，有三復次，初二約對煩惱分別前因後緣，後一約對業行分別。「云何離」下出其治行，先問次辯，「是故」下結，「為生喜下」明離所為。

The above four sections combine to form the first [part], encouraging people to uphold the sūtra in order to abandon evil outflows. From here on is the second [part], contemplating the benefits and harms of evil, especially abandoning what is harmful. First it identifies the essence of evil; from 'like this' and so forth below, it explains its benefits and harms, with three further iterations: the first two distinguish prior cause and posterior condition in relation to afflictions, and the latter one distinguishes them in relation to karmic actions. From 'how to abandon...' below presents its remedying practice, first questioning and next explaining; from 'therefore' below concludes; from 'to give rise to joy' below clarifies the purpose of abandoning.
