金光明最勝王經疏 2.272

2.272

贊曰：觀有。《瑜伽》八十六，由十因緣如來乞食：一者為顯杜多功德故。二者為顯引彼一分令入乞食故。三者為欲以因事行攝彼一分故。四者為與未來眾生作大明等故。五為欲引彼麁弊勝解諸外道故。六者為彼承聲教起謗故，現妙色寂靜威儀，令其驚歎心生迴向故。七者為彼處中眾生，以其少功而樹多福故。八者為令壞信放逸深生恥愧，雖用小功獲大福等故。九為彼盲聾等眾生種種災患皆令靜息故，即是入城見者獲益，如《瑜伽．威力品》明。十為令無量無邊廣大威德諸天龍等，隨從如來至所入家，深生羨仰，勤加儐衛不為惱故。

Commentary: Contemplating existence. According to *Yogācāra* [fascicle] eighty-six, the tathāgata begs for alms for ten reasons: First, to manifest the merits of dhūta practice. Second, to manifest leading a portion of those [monks] to enter into begging for alms. Third, wishing to attract that portion by means of practical conduct based on conditions. Fourth, to serve as a great illumination and so forth for future sentient beings. Fifth, wishing to attract those non-Buddhists of coarse and corrupt resolve. Sixth, because those [beings], hearing voice-teachings, give rise to slander, [he] manifests a wondrous form and serene demeanor to cause them to marvel and reorient their minds in faith. Seventh, for those intermediate sentient beings, to enable them to cultivate vast merit with little effort. Eighth, to cause those whose faith has broken and who are negligent to feel deep shame and remorse, so that even by using little effort they obtain great merit and so forth. Ninth, to pacify all sorts of calamities for blind, deaf, and other sentient beings—that is, those who see [him] entering the city obtain benefit, as explained in the "Power Chapter" of the *Yogācāra*. Tenth, to cause immeasurable, boundless, vastly powerful devas, nāgas, and others to follow the tathāgata to the homes he enters, giving rise to deep admiration and reverence, diligently offering hospitality and protection without causing harm.
