大般涅槃經義記 9.30

9.30

上來解釋執別難通，下次釋去執通難別。先就定解，「言生先有，是義不然」牒以直非。「所以」下釋。「言三昧者名善三昧」簡惡無記，「眾生未有」簡聖異凡，「云何言」下結非難辭。「以住前」下，約前三昧類顯慧捨，不同一切眾生所有慧捨二數。

The above explains away the challenge of clinging to the specific to challenge the universal; next, he explains away the challenge of clinging to the universal to challenge the specific. He first explains it in terms of concentration: "To say that sentient beings possess it from the outset—this meaning is not correct" cites and directly negates it. It is explained below from "For what reason?". "What is called samādhi is called wholesome samādhi" eliminates unwholesome and indeterminate [states]; "sentient beings do not yet possess it" eliminates ordinary beings to distinguish noble ones. From "How can you say…" below, he concludes by refuting the words of the challenge. From "Because of abiding before…" below, relying on the previous samādhi, he analogously reveals wisdom and equanimity, distinguishing them from the two factors of wisdom and equanimity possessed by all sentient beings.
