金光明最勝王經疏 2.403

2.403

贊曰：第二、舉劣況勝喻。文亦有二：所謂喻、合。初也。菩薩滅定，既六識不行而無分別，亦有種種變化事業。問：何故不舉二乘劣喻？答：二乘入滅定，不能起事業故。《無垢稱》第二，無垢呵舍利弗云：「夫宴坐者，不起滅定而現諸威儀，是為宴坐」等。滅盡定義，廣如餘辨。滅定喻如如，前願喻本願，作事業喻應化業用。

Commentary: Second is the simile of using the inferior to illustrate the superior. The text also has two parts: namely, the simile and the application. This is the first. When a bodhisattva enters the concentration of cessation, since the six consciousnesses do not operate and there is no conceptual differentiation, there are also various transformation activities. Question: Why not adduce the inferior simile of the two vehicles? Answer: Because when the two vehicles enter the concentration of cessation, they cannot give rise to activities. In the second fascicle of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, Vimalakīrti scolds Śāriputra, saying: "As for quiet sitting, not rising from the concentration of cessation yet manifesting all deportments—this is quiet sitting," and so forth. The meaning of the concentration of cessation is broadly explained elsewhere. The concentration of cessation illustrates tathatā; the previous vows illustrate the fundamental vows; performing activities illustrates the responsive and transformation activities and functions.
