2.37

贊曰:重顯前嚴,有四:一廣第十樂音說法、二廣第六七寶行樹、三廣第四破暗光明、四廣第二垣牆高厚。此初廣樂音也。不退有五:一未信者信,信不退故。二未定者定,位不退故。三未得者得,證不退故。四未修者修,行不退故。五已斷者不生煩惱,斷不退故。此乃三乘通不退地法輪之行。法輪能詮,行是所詮。正法輪者,唯所詮行,摧滅移轉,行周圓故。行即法輪,今言法輪之行,故知教名法輪,說彼五位所修行也,以彼聽眾具三乘故。法輪有五:一自性、二眷屬、三因、四境、五果,如章中說。今明行者,即攝初三或攝一切。

The commentary says: Elaborating further on the previous adornments, there are four points: first, elaborating on the tenth, the musical sounds expounding the Dharma; second, elaborating on the sixth, the rows of trees of the seven jewels; third, elaborating on the fourth, the light that destroys darkness; fourth, elaborating on the second, the height and thickness of the enclosing walls. This first part elaborates on the musical sounds. There are five kinds of non-retrogression: first, those who do not yet have faith come to have faith, because faith does not retrogress; second, those who are not yet fixed become fixed, because the stage does not retrogress; third, those who have not yet attained attain, because realization does not retrogress; fourth, those who have not yet cultivated cultivate, because practice does not retrogress; fifth, for those who have already severed [defilements], afflictions do not arise, because severance does not retrogress. These are the practices of the wheel of the Dharma of the stage of non-retrogression common to the three vehicles. The wheel of the Dharma is that which expresses, and the practice is that which is expressed. The true wheel of the Dharma is solely the practice that is expressed, which crushes and moves, because the practice is all-pervading and complete. Practice is itself the wheel of the Dharma. Now it says 'the practices of the wheel of the Dharma'; thus we know that the teaching is called the wheel of the Dharma, which expounds what is cultivated in those five stages, because the audience is endowed with the three vehicles. The wheel of the Dharma has five aspects: first, its intrinsic nature; second, its retinue; third, its cause; fourth, its object; fifth, its fruit, as explained in the relevant chapter. Now in explaining practice, it subsumes the first three, or it subsumes all of them.
