維摩經略疏垂裕記 1.71

1.71

二、「今開」下，別約今文分節，二：初、正分三段。二、「問」下，約名釋妨。問意者，以向云十一品皆明佛國因果為正說故。答意者，由佛印定方乃成經。雖題稱維摩，而義歸佛國以為正說，妙得經旨。答中有法、譬、合。「布政」者，皇侃曰「政謂法制」。鄭玄注《周禮》云「政所正不正」也。「而臣受賞」者，《尚書》曰「德懋懋官，功懋懋賞。」注云「懋，勉也。勉於德者，則勉之以官。勉於功者，則勉之以賞。」「淨名至方乃為正」者，荊溪云：法可印成正經，人豈印成化主？「二約觀心」者，不自觀心，如貧數寶。諸佛解脫心行中求，故附法相以成妙觀。文中且約次第三觀以明三分，說雖次第，意歸一心。「心心寂滅」者，荊溪云：從名附近義當流通，觀門亦爾，故作斯解。

Second, "Now opening..." below, specifically dividing the sections according to the present text, which has two parts: first, properly dividing into three sections; second, "Question: ..." below, resolving objections according to the name. The question's intent: because earlier it was said that the eleven chapters all clarify the causes and fruitions of the Buddha land as the main preaching. The answer's intent: only through the Buddha's seal of confirmation is it established as a sūtra. Although the title mentions Vimalakīrti, the meaning belongs to the Buddha land as the main preaching, which wonderfully grasps the sūtra's purport. The answer contains doctrine, metaphor, and application. Regarding "issuing administration": Huang Kan says, "Administration means legal regulations." Zheng Xuan's commentary on the *Rites of Zhou* states, "Administration is that which rectifies what is not correct." Regarding "and the minister receives the reward": the *Book of Documents* says, "When virtue is abundant, encourage it with office; when merit is abundant, encourage it with reward." The commentary says, "Mao means to encourage. For those who strive in virtue, encourage them with office; for those who strive in merit, encourage them with reward." Regarding "Jingming... only then becomes the main": Jingxi says, "Dharma can be sealed and confirmed as a genuine sūtra; how could a person be sealed and confirmed as the teaching master?" Regarding "Second, in terms of contemplating the mind": not contemplating one's own mind is like a pauper counting treasures. The liberation of the Buddhas is sought within the mind's actions; hence one relies on doctrinal marks to accomplish subtle contemplation. In the text it provisionally draws upon the graduated threefold contemplation to explain the three divisions; although the preaching is graduated, the intent converges in the one mind. Regarding "mind after mind being extinguished in quiescence": Jingxi says, "Approximating it from the name, its meaning corresponds to the transmission; the contemplation gates are also like this; hence this explanation is made."
