藥師經疏 1.49

1.49

經。若他國侵擾至恭敬尊重　二逢他國難。謂他邦土諸惡王等貪國位故。侵掠封邑恐動百姓等。是他國難。由念藥師如來名故。他方逆賊不能為害。恭敬尊重者。謙遜畏難言恭。推其智德言敬。一切眾中德無過上言尊。敬畏之心過於父母言重。

Sūtra: “If other countries invade and disturb [...] reverent, respectful, and esteeming.”
Second: Encountering difficulties from another country. That is, when malevolent kings and others of other lands, coveting royal power, invade and pillage feudal territories and terrify the common people, these are difficulties from another country. Due to reciting the name of Bhaiṣajyaguru Tathāgata, rebellious thieves from other directions cannot cause harm. Regarding “reverent, respectful, and esteeming”: yielding humbly in awe of difficulty is called “reverent” (gōng); deferring to his wisdom and virtue is called “respectful” (jìng); having virtue surpassed by none among all beings is called “honoured” (zūn); and holding a mind of awe and veneration that exceeds that for one's parents is called “esteeming” (zhòng).
