問：疾是緣集瘵礙之法，何得表解脫之德？答：此異藏通，彼以無煩惱生死名為解脫。今不思議方便解脫，只受煩惱生死，而自無縛，解脫眾縛。故《大經》云「諸佛菩薩隨所調伏眾生之處，名為解脫。」

Question: Illness is a phenomenon of conditioned accumulation, distress, and hindrance; how can it signify the virtue of liberation? Answer: This differs from the Tripiṭaka and Shared teachings, where the absence of afflictions and saṃsāra is called liberation. Here, the inconceivable expedient liberation merely undergoes afflictions and saṃsāra while remaining self-free from bondage, liberating others from all bonds. Thus the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: “Wherever buddhas and bodhisattvas tame sentient beings is called liberation.”
