金光明最勝王經疏 3.75

3.75

Commentary: This clarifies the fruit of human effort. Within the fruit of human effort, there are distinctions; among the fruits are eight fruits: first, the successive fruits; second, the initial fruit; third, the fruit of repeated practice; fourth, the ultimate fruit; fifth, the fruit of obstacle-cessation; sixth, the surpassed fruit; seventh, the unsurpassed fruit; eighth, the superior fruit. This non-retrogressing ground is the initial fruit, for upon attaining the first ground, one realizes non-retrogression; taken together, they are the fruit of repeated practice and the surpassed fruit. The successive fruits extend through the Buddha-ground.
