大般涅槃經疏 19.8

19.8

「王今且聽」下，第二勸往佛所。又三：一廣引昔十三事勸、二明佛心平等勸、三格量福德勸。次第者，昔為惡者，眾皆見佛得除。佛心平等，不厚昔薄今。初列十三事，又二：先正列事、次「大王若能」下總結證意。次「大王諸佛世尊」下，第二明佛心平等不隔也。三「大王假使」下，第三格量福勝。

From "Let the king now listen" onwards is the second, exhorting him to go to the Buddha's place. This also has three parts: first, broadly citing thirteen past events to exhort him; second, explaining the equality of the Buddha's mind to exhort him; third, assessing the merit to exhort him. In terms of sequence: those who committed evil in the past all saw the Buddha and had it eliminated; the Buddha's mind is impartial, not favoring the past and neglecting the present. In first listing the thirteen events, there are also two parts: first, properly listing the events; next, from "Great King, if you can" onwards concludes the intended meaning of the evidence. Next, from "Great King, the Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones" onwards is the second, explaining that the Buddha's mind is equal and without barrier. Third, from "Great King, suppose" onwards is the third, assessing the superiority of merit.
