大般涅槃經義記 3.261

3.261

In the text there are six clauses in three pairs: first, clarifying that sentient beings falsely reckon the Buddha's bliss to be suffering; second, stating that their inverted mind is sinful suffering—these two form one pair; third, explaining the Buddha as suffering to establish the first clause above; fourth, stating that the aforementioned sinful suffering is taken as bliss—these two form one pair; fifth, raising a difficulty to refute the Buddha's bliss, establishing that the Buddha is suffering to confirm the first clause above; sixth, concluding that the aforementioned reckoning of suffering as bliss is an inversion—these two form one pair.
