金光明最勝王經疏 5.23

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.5.23)

下令人王保國敬重修行。有二：一德人至國、二令王敬重。人能弘道，人至法隨。非道弘人，人無法滅。法既弘益，故應敬重持人。初也。

> Commentary: Below, causing human kings to preserve their countries and cultivate with reverence. There are two parts: first, the virtuous person arriving in the country; second, causing the king to show reverence. Humans are capable of propagating the Way; when the person arrives, the Dharma follows. It is not that the Way propagates humans; if humans are lacking, the Dharma perishes. Since the Dharma brings vast benefit, one ought to revere the person who upholds it. This is the first.
