四分律行事鈔資持記 3.642

3.642

次科，《大悲經》中，初敘修因。傾謂盡心，側謂迴避。以是下，次明感果。如佛將成道，在尼連河，沐浴身瘦，不能自持；感樹垂枝，助佛身出；至於入滅，雙林變白之類。無情尚爾，況有情耶。《增一》中，初示來報。以下，推往因。《雜含》中。誡勅比丘，四眾即所敬。攝諸根者，謂恭謹也。長夜通目現未，安樂通世出世。

In the next section, in the Great Compassion Sūtra: it first recounts cultivating the cause. "Inclining" means exhausting one's mind; "turning aside" means stepping aside. The lines from "Because of this..." down next explain evoking the fruit. For example, when the Buddha was about to realize the Path, he bathed in the Nairañjanā River; his body was emaciated and could not support itself, which caused a tree to bend its branches to help the Buddha's body emerge; down to when he entered extinction, the twin trees turned white—such things as these. If insentient things are still like this, how much more so sentient beings! In the Ekottarika-āgama, it first shows the future retribution; the lines from "By means of..." down trace back to the past cause. In the Saṃyuktāgama, it admonishes the bhikṣus: the four assemblies are the objects of respect. "Restraining the sense faculties" means being respectful and prudent. "Long night" refers generally to the present and the future; "peace and happiness" applies generally to the mundane and supramundane.
