維摩經玄疏 5.161

5.161

The single chapter 'Inquiring About Illness' in the room clarifies that all buddha-lands are empty, revealing the great fruition of inconceivable liberation. He manifests provisional illness and relies on illness to initiate the teaching, in order to generate the goodness of the three contemplations in bodhisattvas afflicted with real illness and destroy the three kinds of real illness. The chapter 'Inconceivable Liberation' reiterates the fruition. The chapters 'Contemplating Sentient Beings', 'The Buddha Path', 'Entering the Dharma-Door of Non-Duality', and 'Accumulated Fragrance' reiterate the causes of the three contemplations. Discerning fruition and clarifying causes, although cause and fruition differ, they are all teachings expounding inconceivable liberation. Once the conditions for converting beings during this period were completed, he held the great assembly in his palm and returned to the Buddha's place, signifying that the bonds of conditions for the disciples being transformed had been severed and that they would be born in pure lands to accomplish the practices of purifying buddha-lands. Furthermore, wishing to benefit the distant future, he exhorted the making of offerings to this Dharma and entrusted it for circulation. All of this proclaims the great path of the inconceivable three kinds of liberation.
