說無垢稱經疏 4.416

4.416

方便品下，總有四品。隱迹利他中，初一品總敘權、後三品別敘權。上來〈聲聞〉、〈菩薩〉別敘昔權，〈問疾〉一品則敘今權。示疾閑齋，方希有問，因對揚而辨道，說來慰以濟生。此品廣陳彼事，故名問疾品。

Below the "Chapter on Upāya", there are four chapters in total. In concealing the traces to benefit others, the first chapter generally recounts the provisional means; the latter three chapters specifically recount the provisional means. Previously, the "Śrāvaka" and "Bodhisattva" chapters specifically recounted past provisional means; the single "Inquiring After the Illness" chapter recounts present provisional means. Demonstrating illness in quiet seclusion, he then hoped for an inquiry; responding to the questions to clarify the Way, welcoming the visit of consolation to rescue living beings. This chapter extensively expounds that matter; hence it is called the "Chapter on Inquiring After the Illness".
