金光明經文句記 4.83

4.83

Second, he shows the present capacity. If we speak in terms of retaining meaning, being able to awaken upon hearing the brief is called having sharp faculties. The Wujian Jing says: 'Sentient beings have dull faculties, and it is said that the present capacities are unable to awaken to the immeasurable meanings of emptiness, being scarce in wisdom.' This is also spoken in terms of the wisdom of retaining what is heard. This is identical to the explanation in the Awakening of Faith.

Furthermore, at the end, it speaks of the profound, vast meanings of all buddhas. Having already accorded with the dhāraṇī to expound this chapter, briefly expounding the immeasurable meanings of emptiness is identical to that dhāraṇī expounding the deep and vast meanings.
