起信論疏筆削記 18.11

18.11

問中，論　若諸下至生者，是牒前文也。一切下至得利，是按定也，皆可解。多不見者，非全不見，故云多也。又聞說者必見身，見身者未必聞法。今約局所標，故但言不見，尚不得見，何況得聞？

In the question, treatise: From “If all” down to “beings”: This restates the preceding text. From “all” down to “obtain benefit”: This sets it as established; all are intelligible. Regarding “mostly do not see”: It is not that they do not see at all, hence it says “mostly.” Furthermore, those who hear the preaching necessarily see the body, while those who see the body do not necessarily hear the Dharma. Now it is formulated according to this restricted perspective, hence it merely says “do not see”; if they cannot even see, how much less could they hear?
