金光明經文句記 6.99

6.99

初、問。小人即國，病者小蟲、一萬枯魚。魚關未來法食之誓，獲成佛記例。病差者，定於後世為解脫機，是故皆蒙二世之益。感深契極者，以不二解導難行行，此感至深。捨身命財與後際等，此契唯極，眾聞獲益正當此時，是故樹神乘機發問。

First, the question. The lesser person is the state; the sick are the tiny worms and the ten thousand dried fish. The fish relate to the vow of future Dharma-food, and like them received the prediction of Buddhahood. Those whose sicknesses were cured are definitely capacities for liberation in future lives; therefore, all received the benefit of the two lives. Regarding "deeply moved and reaching the ultimate": guiding difficult practices with non-dual understanding, this response is most deep. Abandoning body, life, and wealth equal to the future limit, this tallying is purely ultimate; the assembly hearing and receiving benefit was precisely at this time, which is why the tree deity seized the opportunity to raise the question.
