大般涅槃經疏 22.12

22.12

From "How does a bodhisattva..." onward explains the ninth section. The text has three parts: stating [the topic], explaining it, and concluding. The statement is as in the text. Next, in the explanation, the text has two parts: first, clarifying leaving enemies behind; next, distinguishing and identifying the enemies. In the first part on leaving enemies behind, there are again two: first, leaving enemies behind for oneself; next, leaving enemies behind for others. The first passage means that staying far away from defilements is leaving enemies behind for oneself. Next, the five abodes are leaving enemies behind for others. Next, from "What are the enemies?" onward, it distinguishes and identifies the enemy adversaries. Héxī's explanation of the eight Māras states: the four evils such as slandering the Vaipulya sūtras are the four Māras, which are the Māras of saṃsāra; the four [wrong views] such as impermanence and non-self are the Māras of nirvāṇa, and so forth.
