說無垢稱經疏 3.9

3.9

Commentary: The following discusses his actual virtues. There are twenty clauses, divided into two parts: the first eighteen clauses discuss his internal actual virtues; the latter two clauses, beginning with 'Praised by all Buddhas', discuss his external actual virtues. Although the old translation differs in sequence, the meaning of the clauses is identical to this. Within this [first section], there are two virtues: first, the virtue of having long encountered favorable conditions, through making offerings to all Buddhas; second, the virtue of having previously cultivated the foundational practices, through deeply planting roots of goodness. These two generally subsume the four practices of intimate association.
