金光明經文句記 3.221

3.221

二、「釋此」下，總示義。經示六文，該益雖遍，語猶總略，備解或難，是故大師令講解者就此六文一一委明。從苦得樂、漏得無漏、捨小入大、自權至實、從因至果，節節皆論破惡生善。具辯應如二十五有，皆得果報因花。小草中草上草、小樹大樹，一實事、方便實報十番利益，方盡金鼓所出妙音被物之相。具如《妙玄》及《請觀音疏》也。

Second, from "Explaining this..." onward, generally indicating the meaning. Although the benefits indicated by the sūtra's six passages are all-pervasive, their phrasing remains general and brief, and a complete understanding might be difficult; therefore, the Great Master instructs expositors to explain in detail each of these six passages. Passing from suffering to bliss, from outflows to without outflows, relinquishing the small to enter the great, moving from provisional to real, and proceeding from cause to fruition—at every stage, shattering evil and producing good is discussed. A complete discrimination should be as in the twenty-five states of existence, all obtaining the fruits of retribution and the causal flowers. Small grass, medium grass, superior grass, small trees, and large trees; the one real phenomenon, expedient means, and real retribution—the ten turns of benefit—only these fully express the aspects of the wondrous sound emitted by the golden drum covering beings. This is fully detailed in the Miaoxuan and the Commentary on the Invocations of Avalokiteśvara.
