Language

2.67

贊曰:三、生四花。慈悲喜捨內四無量,外感花故。四、百寶飾。十善業道,自作教他、讚歎慶喜,少分多分全分、少時多時盡喜行故,一一有十名為百行。內修百行、外百寶成,所以上下多說百數。五、放光明。智破暗故。六、雜花莊嚴,眾行助故。

The commentary says: Third, the generation of the four flowers: because the four internal immeasurables—loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—outwardly evoke flowers. Fourth, its adornment with a hundred jewels: through the ten wholesome courses of action—doing them oneself, teaching others, praising them, and rejoicing in them—practiced in small measure, large measure, or fully, for a short time, long time, or continuously with joy, each has ten aspects, making a hundred practices. Inwardly one cultivates the hundred practices, and outwardly it is formed of a hundred jewels; this is why the number 'a hundred' is often stated above and below. Fifth, the emission of bright light: because wisdom destroys darkness. Sixth, the adornment with varied flowers: because diverse practices assist it.
