23.44

Below, it explains the sūtra text. Regarding 'Dharma and what accords with the Dharma': 'Dharma' refers to the noble path preceded by right view. 'What accords with the Dharma' refers to hearing, contemplation, attention, and so forth based on that. Furthermore, regarding 'I have never troubled the locus upon which the true Dharma relies': this is still the World-Honoured One, for the World-Honoured One is the locus upon which the true Dharma relies; speaking directly, one should say 'I have never troubled the World-Honoured One.' Master Da says: 'Merely prophesying the class of beings' is as another sūtra says: the Buddha prophesied for Dabba Mallaputta the place where he would be born next after passing away. 'Dabba Mallaputta' here translates to 'class of beings'. Another explanation says: the three marks here are: 1. the Dharma, 2. what accords with the Dharma, and 3. not troubling the locus upon which the true Dharma relies.
