大般涅槃經疏 20.8

20.8

次釋聞已利益者，為三：標、釋、結。標證得之益，非是思慧之益，文云「得近三菩提」。思慧猶未發真，豈近義耶？次釋，為二：一略：二廣。略中又二：先提緣由，故言聽受；次顯真證是一心三智，舉三譬譬之：真智照理如鏡內淨，假智照事如炬了外物，中智圓照如日遍朗。而三番說者，令人易解，證時一心俱得三智。二「若有菩薩」去，是廣明利益，又二：初敘緣由、次歷四法。明益如文。不從他聞是真證之益，而能自知近三菩提，故知非思慧明矣。三結，如文。

Next, explaining "having heard, one attains benefit" has three parts: the presentation, the explanation, and the conclusion. Presenting the benefit of realization, it is not the benefit of the wisdom of contemplation; the text says, "attains closeness to sambodhi." The wisdom of contemplation has not yet brought forth the real—how could it mean "closeness"? Next, the explanation has two parts: first, brief; second, extensive. In the brief, there are again two parts: first, raising the causal conditions, hence it says "listening and accepting"; next, revealing that true realization is the three wisdoms in one mind, illustrating it by raising three parables: true wisdom illuminating principle is like the inside of a mirror being clear; provisional wisdom illuminating affairs is like a torch making external objects distinct; the middle wisdom illuminating all-round is like the sun brightly shining everywhere. Explaining it in three turns is to make it easy for people to understand; at the time of realization, one simultaneously obtains the three wisdoms in one mind. Second, from "if there is a bodhisattva" onward is the extensive explanation of the benefits, which also has two parts: first, narrating the causal conditions; next, going through the four dharmas. Clarifying the benefits is as in the text. Not hearing from another is the benefit of true realization, and being able to know for oneself closeness to sambodhi makes it clear that this is not the wisdom of contemplation. Third, the conclusion is as in the text.
