金光明最勝王經疏 4.490

Commentary: The third part asks relying on what principle this was spoken. The previous question asked about cultivation; this question asks about exposition. Alternatively, the previous question and answer concerned cultivation for self-benefit, and the exposition merely addressed cultivation; this subsequent question and answer concerns expounding cultivation for others, so raising the exposition merely asks about the exposition. The preceding and following mutually reflect each other, each possessing both self-benefit and other-benefit. Herein there are four parts: first the question, second the answer, third the objection, and fourth the resolution. This question asks: relying on what principle is one able to be free from existence and non-existence while initiating cultivation and exposition? Alternatively, it asks: since they are not genuinely existent like the moon in the water and so forth, relying on what does one cultivate and expound?
