大般涅槃經義記 2.3

2.3

In the latter, he first instructs them to cultivate good dharmas: "Delight in heedfulness" instructs them to cultivate the practice of precepts; "Guard the mind with correct mindfulness" instructs them to cultivate the practice of concentration; "Stay far away from non-Dharma" instructs them to cultivate the practice of wisdom—wisdom can cure faults, hence it is called "staying far away from non-Dharma." Alternatively, the first line, "delight in heedfulness," can be taken as exhorting the cultivation of the study of wisdom—wisdom is prajñā, the root of heedfulness, and is called "heedfulness"; "guard the mind with correct mindfulness" exhorts the cultivation of the study of concentration; "stay far away from non-Dharma" exhorts the cultivation of the study of precepts—precepts abandon all faults, hence called "staying far away from non-Dharma." "Comfort the mind and experience joy" exhorts them to give rise to joy. "Comfort the mind" relates to the present—you should open your minds; "experience joy" relates to the present—you should not be sorrowful and anguished.
