大般涅槃經疏 12.14

12.14

「復次善男子譬如日出」下，第二結歎前喻。文為三：一歎、二勸信、三結。歎又二：先歎滅惡、次歎義深。「以是義」下，勸信，又二：先勸信、次勸學。結歎，如文。今用此三文，結三光喻，歎教理行。結日喻歎常住教，結月喻歎常住理，結星喻歎常住行。

"Furthermore, good sons, for example, just as when the sun rises" downward is the second part, concluding with praise for the preceding parables. The text has three [sections]: first, praise; second, exhortation to faith; third, conclusion. The praise also has two parts: first, praising the eradication of evil; next, praising the profound meaning. From "By this meaning" downward is the exhortation to faith, which also has two parts: first, exhorting faith; next, exhorting study. The concluding praise is as in the text. Here, these three textual passages are used to conclude the parables of the three luminaries, praising the teaching, the principle, and the practice: concluding the sun parable praises the permanently abiding teaching; concluding the moon parable praises the permanently abiding principle; concluding the star parable praises the permanently abiding practice.
