金光明最勝王經疏 3.582

3.582

贊曰：次釋有三。謂徵釋結。文段可知。此意應同《妙法華經》普賢所問：「云何能得是法華經？」佛答：「成就四法。」此中第一即彼入正定聚深信三乘，名正念成就；不歸外道，名不起邪心。第二即佛所護念，能於深理不生誹謗，是根熟故佛所護念。第三殖眾德本，能於初行菩薩起一切智心，即種殖善本。第四即彼發救一切眾生之心，起慈無量能與他樂，亦起於悲能拔他苦。且據初說云慈無量，據具因說成就四法能除業障，若分成就亦分能懺。

Commentary: Next, the explanation has three parts: inquiring, explaining, and concluding. The divisions of the text are clear. This meaning should be identical to what Samantabhadra asked in the Saddharmapuṇḍarīkasūtra: 'How is one able to obtain this Lotus Sūtra?' The Buddha answered: 'By accomplishing four dharmas.' Among these, the first is entering the collection of definite rectitude and having deep faith in the three vehicles, which is called 'the accomplishment of right mindfulness'; not taking refuge in non-Buddhist paths is called 'not giving rise to deviant thoughts.' The second is being protected and remembered by the buddhas: being able not to produce slander toward the profound principle, which is being protected and remembered by the buddhas because one's faculties are mature. The third is planting the roots of multiple virtues: being able to generate the aspiration for all-knowledge toward newly practicing bodhisattvas is planting roots of goodness. The fourth is generating the mind to rescue all sentient beings: giving rise to immeasurable loving-kindness enables giving joy to others, and also giving rise to compassion enables pulling them out of suffering. Provisionally based on the initial statement, it says 'immeasurable loving-kindness'; based on complete causes, it is said that accomplishing the four dharmas can remove karmic hindrances. If one accomplishes them partially, one can also repent partially.
