金光明經文句記 4.356

4.356

二、「無量」下，略釋經文。三、「論云」下，檀攝六度。《大論》十二解檀度云「若菩薩行檀度，能生六度，是時名檀度滿。云何布施生檀度？有下中上：若以飲食麁物軟心布施名下，能以衣服寶物布施名中檀，能以頭目血肉國財妻子布施名上。云何施生尸度？菩薩思惟眾生不知布施，後世貧窮故行惡；若行布施，後世有福無所乏短，則能持戒。云何生忍度？菩薩施時受者惡罵、若大求索、若不時索、或不應索而索，是時菩薩思惟：『我今布施欲求佛道。亦無有人使我布施，我自為故，云何生瞋？』如是思惟已而行忍辱。云何生進度？菩薩布施時，常行精進欲行二施，勤求財法以求足之。云何生禪度；菩薩施時，能除慳貪而行一心，漸除五蓋，是名禪度。又心依布施，入於初禪乃至滅定。云何生智度？菩薩施時，知有果報而不疑惑，能破邪見無明。又分別淨不淨施得報不同，是名生智。故云檀義攝六也。」餘之五度亦互相攝，非今文意，故且論檀，六之首故、攝生便故。

Second, from "immeasurable" onward, briefly explains the sūtra text. Third, from "The treatise says" onward, giving subsumes the six perfections. Fascicle twelve of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra, explaining the perfection of giving, states: "If a bodhisattva practices the perfection of giving and can generate the six perfections, this is called the fulfillment of the perfection of giving. How does giving generate the perfection of giving? There are lower, middle, and upper [grades]: giving food and drink or coarse items with a soft mind is called the lower; being able to give clothing and precious items is called the middle giving; being able to give one's head, eyes, blood, flesh, national wealth, wife, and children is called the upper. How does giving generate the perfection of morality? The bodhisattva contemplates that sentient beings do not know giving and therefore are impoverished in future lives and do evil; if they practice giving, they will have blessings and lack nothing in future lives, and thus will be able to maintain morality. How does it generate the perfection of forbearance? When the bodhisattva gives, if the recipient reviles them, makes great demands, demands at improper times, or demands what should not be demanded, the bodhisattva then contemplates: 'I now give seeking the Buddha path. Nor did anyone compel me to give; I do this for myself, so how could I give rise to anger?' Having contemplated in this way, they practice forbearance. How does it generate the perfection of vigor? When the bodhisattva gives, they constantly practice vigor, wishing to perform the two kinds of giving, diligently seeking wealth and Dharma to satisfy others. How does it generate the perfection of dhyāna? When the bodhisattva gives, they can eliminate stinginess and greed and practice single-mindedness, gradually eliminating the five hindrances; this is called the perfection of dhyāna. Furthermore, the mind relies on giving to enter the first dhyāna up to the cessation-samāpatti. How does it generate the perfection of wisdom? When the bodhisattva gives, they know that there is retribution without doubt, and are able to break through wrong views and ignorance. Furthermore, distinguishing that pure and impure gifts result in different retributions is called generating wisdom. Therefore, it is said that the meaning of giving subsumes the six." The other five perfections also mutually subsume one another; as that is not the intention of the present text, it discusses only giving for the time being, because it is the foremost of the six and convenient for subsuming and generating [the others].
