大般涅槃經義記 9.57

9.57

教修入中，師子先問，「成幾能見無相涅槃至無所有」。下佛為辨，先舉、次列。十中，初信起行方便，後九正行。信中初列，「云何」下釋，先問、次辨。辨中有二：一修正信、二離邪信。修正信中，《地持》有八，廣如上辨。此但有五，「信佛法僧」即為三也；「信十方佛方便示現」是彼信佛菩薩神力，今略論佛；「一切有性」即是彼中信真實義，通前為五。此明正信。「不信如來生老死」等，明離邪信。「是名」下結。

In teaching cultivation and entry, Siṃha first asks: "Having accomplished how many can one see signless nirvāṇa up to nothingness?" Below, the Buddha explains for him, first presenting and next enumerating. Among the ten, the first, faith, is the expedient means for initiating practice, and the latter nine are correct practice. In faith, it first enumerates; from "How..." downward is the explanation, first asking and next differentiating. In the differentiation there are two: first, cultivating correct faith; second, leaving false faith. In cultivating correct faith, the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* has eight, as broadly differentiated above. Here there are only five: "faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha" constitutes three; "faith in the expedient manifestations of the buddhas of the ten directions" corresponds to faith in the supernatural powers of buddhas and bodhisattvas in that [text], here briefly discussing buddhas; "all possessing nature" corresponds to faith in the real meaning in that [text]—combined with the preceding, these make five. This explains correct faith. "Not believing that the Tathāgata has birth, old age, and death..." and so forth explains leaving false faith. From "This is named..." downward is the conclusion.
