止觀輔行傳弘決 6.40

6.40

次更料簡者，初問可知。答意者，無生對餘，名為二義。初正示自行能通之門，故云三十二菩薩各各說己所入之門。「若言」下，出他解。「今解」下，出今家正解。初示能通之門，「此菩薩」下明自行；「又他緣」下，次明化他。前明諸菩薩各自說己所入之門，故成自行。此中明三十二菩薩各各說者，非獨述己，亦為利他，他緣不同故須各說。「是則」等者，歎門無量，無不益他。「云何」等者，結酬前難。「復次」下，更於門門以明四悉，得四悉益即是其宜，若無四悉應須度入。「歎喜」即世界，「信善」即為人，「執破」即對治，「欲悟」即第一義。「當更」下，次明無滅等門有四悉益。從「喜生」下八字即四悉門也。譬結如文。

Next, regarding the further appraisal: the opening question is understood. The purport of the answer is that non-arising contrasted with the rest constitutes two meanings. First it directly shows the gates through which one’s own practice can penetrate; hence it says that the thirty-two bodhisattvas each stated the gate through which they entered. From “If it is said…” downward presents other interpretations. From “The present interpretation…” downward presents the correct interpretation of our school. First it shows the gates that can penetrate; from “These bodhisattvas…” downward clarifies one’s own practice; from “Moreover, conditions of others…” clarifies transforming others. The earlier part clarified that the bodhisattvas each stated the gate of their own entry, thus constituting one's own practice. Here, clarifying that the thirty-two bodhisattvas each spoke means not only recounting their own [experience], but also benefiting others; because the conditions of others differ, each must speak. “This being so” and so on praises the gates as measureless, none failing to benefit others. “How is it…” and so on concludes by responding to the previous objection. From “Furthermore…” downward further clarifies the four siddhāntas across gate after gate; gaining the benefit of the four siddhāntas is their suitability, and if there are no four siddhāntas, one must pass over. “Praising and rejoicing” is the worldly; “faith and goodness” is for the individual; “shattering attachment” is the therapeutic; “desiring awakening” is the ultimate. From “Should further…” clarifies that gates such as non-ceasing possess the benefits of the four siddhāntas. The eight characters from “Joy arises…” are the gates of the four siddhāntas. The metaphor and conclusion are as in the text.
