贊曰:下品第三大段結勸修行。文分為三:一結前信解令依行、二「然諸如來」下結前得果令求證、三「若善男子」下成前二義。初中有三:初舉信解益、次不信有損、三說利勸行。此初也。但能一念如是,知見法真如,當得菩提永無生老死等,為遠因故,必當得故。故《法華經.藥王品》云「聞此經者不老不死,不久取草坐於道場。」若如來德,前已說竟後文復說,故此說者是信解者當所得果。或再三重舉如來之德令生信解。得金剛身故無生老死,離五蓋故無睡眠,破魔軍故無飢渴,餘文可知。雖然,前解結好。
Commentary: The third major section of the lower chapter concludes with an exhortation to cultivate practice. The text is divided into three parts: first, concluding the preceding faith and understanding to cause one to practice accordingly; second, from 'However, all Tathāgatas...' onward, concluding the preceding attainment of the fruit to cause one to seek its realization; third, from 'If a good son...' onward, establishing the preceding two meanings. In the first part there are three divisions: first, adducing the benefit of faith and understanding; next, showing the harm of disbelief; third, speaking of the benefit to exhort practice. This is the first. If one is capable of knowing and seeing the tathatā of phenomena like this for even a single thought-moment, one will obtain bodhi and be eternally free of birth, old age, death, and so forth; because this serves as a distant cause, one will inevitably attain it. Therefore the Lotus Sūtra, 'Chapter on the Bodhisattva Bhaiṣajyarāja', says: 'One who hears this sūtra will not grow old or die, and before long will take grass and sit at the place of awakening (bodhimaṇḍa).' As for the virtues of the Tathāgata, having already been fully explained before, they are stated again in the later text; therefore, what is stated here is the fruit that should be obtained by those who have faith and understanding. Alternatively, the virtues of the Tathāgata are repeatedly adduced to generate faith and understanding. Because one obtains the adamantine body, there is no birth, old age, or death; because one is free from the five hindrances, there is no sleep; because one has destroyed Māra's hosts, there is no hunger or thirst; the rest of the text can be understood accordingly. Nonetheless, the former explanation concludes well.
