維摩經略疏 1.134

1.134

「法寶普照」下，二正明化他，為三：一放光說法明化他、二正說法明化他、三明進修化他門。初為二：一正明放光說法、二明釋成。初又為三：一放光、二說法、三釋歎。一、放光者，明菩薩悲智緣三諦理，生善法寶，用化一切有緣。言普照者，入放光三昧、普光三昧，故能普照。若諸凡夫應以世善光照，若出世善及出世上上善而得度者，菩薩隨其所應用何三昧放善法光各令得度。故《華嚴》《思益》、《大品》悉云「佛有光明名無慳，若放此光照慳眾生即能行施等，如是種種利益令其得道。」若一光除慳、一光除嗔，是別教意，不名普照。若放二諦光，亦不名普。今諸菩薩只放一光具一切光照一切處，十界眾生各得利益，隨機入道，故名普照。

From "The jewel of the Dharma universally illuminates" downward is the second major section, directly clarifying transforming others, divided into three: first, clarifying transforming others through emitting light and preaching the Dharma; second, clarifying transforming others through directly preaching the Dharma; third, clarifying the gate of progressive cultivation for transforming others. The first has two parts: first, directly clarifying emitting light and preaching the Dharma; second, clarifying its explanatory confirmation. The first again has three parts: first, emitting light; second, preaching the Dharma; third, an explanatory praise. First, "emitting light" clarifies that the bodhisattvas' compassion and wisdom take the principle of the three truths as object, generating the jewel of wholesome dharmas to transform all who have the conditions. "Universally illuminates": they enter the samādhi of emitting light and the samādhi of universal light, and are thus able to illuminate universally. If ordinary beings should be illuminated by the light of worldly goodness, or if they are to be saved by supramundane goodness or supramundane supreme-of-supreme goodness, the bodhisattvas, in accordance with what is appropriate, emit the light of wholesome dharmas with whichever samādhi is fitting, causing each to attain deliverance. Therefore, the Avataṃsaka, the Viśeṣacintā-[brahma-paripṛcchā], and the Dàpǐn all state: "The Buddha has a light called 'Free from Stinginess'; if he emits this light to shine upon stingy sentient beings, they are immediately able to practice generosity, and so on; in such various ways he brings benefit, causing them to attain the Path." If one light dispels stinginess and another light dispels anger, this is the intent of the Separate Teaching and is not termed "universally illuminating." If one emits the light of the two truths, that is also not termed "universal." Now, these bodhisattvas emit merely a single light that contains all lights and shines upon all places, so that sentient beings of the ten realms each attain benefit and enter the Path according to their capacity; hence it is called "universally illuminating."
