大般涅槃經義記 9.138

9.138

「善星雖入佛法」已下，超答第六，明己有慈。於中有三：一明己有慈；二「若本貪」下，彰己慈深；三「我弟子」下，舉他同憐，顯己慈實。初中復三：一明善星亡失善法，先法、後喻。二「又如」下，斷壞法身，先喻、後合。喻中，「自戮」自心壞善，「羅剎所殺」惡友壞善。合文可知。三明佛慈，「以憐愍故」，言多傷嘆，「常說善星多諸放逸」。第二明己慈深之中，先喻、次合、下結可知。第三顯己慈實之中，先法、後喻。

From "Although Sunakkhatta entered the Buddha-Dharma" onward, he leaps ahead to answer the sixth [phrase], clarifying that he himself possesses compassion. In this there are three parts: first, clarifying that he himself possesses compassion; second, from "If originally greedy..." onward, displaying the depth of his own compassion; third, from "My disciples..." onward, adducing others' shared pity to reveal the reality of his own compassion. In the first part there are again three: first, clarifying Sunakkhatta's loss of wholesome dharmas, first by doctrine and then by metaphor; second, from "Furthermore, just as..." onward, severing and destroying the dharmakāya, first by metaphor and then by application. In the metaphor, "slaying oneself" is one's own mind destroying good, and "being killed by a rākṣasa" is an evil companion destroying good. The text of the application can be understood. Third, clarifying the Buddha's compassion: "out of pity," his words are filled with grief and lamentation, "always saying that Sunakkhatta is exceedingly negligent." In the second part, which clarifies the depth of his own compassion, first is the metaphor, next the application, and below the conclusion, which can be understood. In the third part, which reveals the reality of his own compassion, first is the doctrine, and then the metaphor.
