藥師經疏 1.8

1.8

Sūtra: “Because in their past human lives […] up to: momentarily present [in memory].” / Fourth: hearing the name and coming to the rescue. That is, formerly while in the human realm, they once had the opportunity to momentarily hear the name of Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddha. Later, meeting bad companions, they created the karma of not practicing generosity. Although born in bad destinies, by the seed-power of having heard the Buddha’s name, they are able again to remember Bhaiṣajyaguru Tathāgata.
