7.323

次二復次教生善中,前一復次教生善因,初法,次喻,後合,下結。後一復次教得樂果,初先立喻,「上藥」喻於諸佛菩薩,「見」喻覩形,「觸者」喻於親近聽法,「念」喻依行,次合後結,文皆可知。

In the next two repetitions on teaching [beings] to generate goodness, the preceding repetition teaches the generation of good causes: first the dharma, next the simile, then the application, and below the conclusion. The latter repetition teaches the attainment of joyful results: first it establishes a simile—'supreme medicine' illustrates the buddhas and bodhisattvas; 'seeing' illustrates looking upon their forms; 'those who touch' illustrates drawing near and listening to the Dharma; 'thinking' illustrates practicing accordingly—next is the application and then the conclusion; the text can all be known.
