金光明最勝王經疏 3.237

3.237

贊曰：此明聞得益勸人修學。文分為四：一明聞得益、二徵、三釋、四成。初中，初聞經信解、後明得益。聽聞聞慧，信即思慧，解即修慧。或舉最劣，但因聞慧能信能解。或但信解非是證解尚獲斯福，何況勝行。

Commentary: This explains the benefits gained from hearing it to exhort people to cultivate and learn. The text is divided into four: first, clarifying the benefits of hearing; second, inquiring; third, explaining; fourth, establishing. In the first part, first they hear the sūtra with faith and understanding; later the text clarifies the benefits gained. Hearing is the wisdom arisen from hearing; faith is the wisdom arisen from reflection; understanding is the wisdom arisen from cultivation. Alternatively, it adduces the lowest case: that merely through the wisdom of hearing, one can have faith and understanding. Or, even with merely faith and understanding without realized understanding, one still obtains such merit, to say nothing of superior practices.
