法華論疏 1.55

1.55

From 'Regarding the fulfillment of the introductory section' downward is the second part, explaining the seven section headings, which form seven sections. The first section has five elements: first, 'thus'; second, 'I heard'; third, 'at one time'; fourth, the master of teaching; fifth, the dwelling place. Here he explains only the fifth; the first four elements have already been clarified in other sūtras and moreover are easy to understand, so he does not explain them. When the treatise says 'regarding the fulfillment of the introductory section', this cites the meaning of the fulfillment of the introductory section.
