金光明經文句記 3.285

3.285

六、釋三毒難。疏分科云「善惡八難」。善論四難，經疏可了。今之惡難，經似列七，約何云四？蓋就三障義有兼獨，一兼三獨乃成四難。何者？六趣險難、三有險難及輕躁難，此雖三難，獨在報障。婬欲、愚癡及三毒難，獨屬煩惱。近惡友難，獨屬業障。若生死險難，疏有兩解，體兼業報。故三障惡，義當四難。然須了知惡是性惡，是故此惡即無生觀，如此懺之頓消諸難。

Sixth, explaining the difficulty of the three poisons. The Commentary's outline states: "the eight difficulties of good and evil." Good is discussed in four difficulties, which can be understood from the sūtra and Commentary. As for the difficulties of evil now, the sūtra seems to list seven; according to what are they called four? It is because the three obstacles have combined and single aspects: one combined and three single make four difficulties. Which ones? The perilous difficulty of the six destinies, the perilous difficulty of the three realms of existence, and the difficulty of frivolity and restlessness: although these are three difficulties, they belong singly to the retributive obstacle. Lust, ignorance, and the difficulty of the three poisons belong singly to afflictions. The difficulty of being close to evil companions belongs singly to the karmic obstacle. As for the perilous difficulty of birth and death, the Commentary has two explanations, and its essence combines karma and retribution. Therefore, the evil of the three obstacles corresponds in meaning to four difficulties. However, one must realize that evil is inherent evil; therefore, this evil is itself the contemplation of non-arising, and repenting it in this manner immediately eliminates all difficulties.
