維摩經略疏 7.14

7.14

「譬如」下，三、譬顯。文為二：一開譬、二合譬。開為二：一開有病譬、二開病愈譬。初以父母為譬者，菩薩從二智生大悲住一子地，即是眾生之父母。一切眾生同有性理，故云「唯有一子」。若三土眾生有癡愛實疾，法身二智大悲即應生三土，故有權疾。二開病愈，可解。

From "For instance" onward is the third [part], elucidation through a simile. The text has two: first, unfolding the simile; second, applying the simile. Unfolding has two: first, unfolding the simile of having an illness; second, unfolding the simile of recovering from the illness. First, using parents as a simile: a bodhisattva gives rise to great compassion from the two wisdoms and abides in the stage of the single child, which is to be the parent of sentient beings. All sentient beings equally possess the principle of the nature; hence it says "only has one child." If sentient beings of the three lands have the real illness of delusion and craving, the great compassion of the two wisdoms of the dharmakāya will respond and arise in the three lands; hence there is the provisional illness. Second, unfolding the recovery from the illness can be understood.
