注維摩詰經 1.34

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.34)

什曰：法城，即實相法也。使物無異見，故言護也。復次一切經法皆名法城，護持宣布令不壞也。有能持正法者，亦兼護之也。肇曰：外為護法之城，內有受持之固。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: The "citadel of the Dharma" is the Dharma of true reality. Preventing beings from falling into erroneous views is called "protecting." Furthermore, all the sūtras and dharmas are named the citadel of Dharma; they protect, uphold, and propagate them so that they do not perish. When there are those who can uphold the true Dharma, they also protect them. \[Seng\]zhao says: Outwardly they act as a citadel protecting the Dharma; inwardly they possess the firmness of upholding it.
