俱舍論頌疏論本 1.30

1.30

From here, the second part, direct explanation following the text: in preparing to explain these verses, [the text] is divided briefly into three sections: 1. the introductory section, 2. the main body, and 3. the dissemination section. Whenever sages compose a treatise, there must be an occasion; therefore, the introductory section is clarified first. The introductory section being concluded, there must be something expounded; therefore, the main body is clarified next. Once the central tenets are revealed, one encourages living beings to cultivate and study; therefore, there is the dissemination section at the end.
