維摩經略疏 7.13

7.13

From "Therefore... to has no illness again" onward is the second [part], explaining the two preceding answers. It has two meanings: The previous statement said that for the sake of sentient beings he enters birth and death, and where there is birth and death there is the arising of the three kinds of illness. This explains the answer regarding how long ago the provisional illness arose. The next statement says, "If sentient beings can be freed from illness, then the bodhisattva has no illness again"; this explains the reason behind the subsequent answer regarding how the provisional illness comes to cease.
