維摩經義記卷第四 4.54

4.54

The fifth section is from "Exhorting and requesting the expounding of the Dharma" down to "not losing superior good dharmas," which explains that the purity of the three karmas concludes the four sections above. Because body, speech, and mind are pure, one is fully equipped with the dharmas of the preceding four sections. "Exhorting and requesting the expounding of the Dharma, following with joy and praising goodness, attaining the voice of a buddha": This explains that because speech karma is pure, one attains the subtle and wondrous Brahmā-voice of a buddha. "Body, speech, and mind being good, attaining the deportment of a buddha": This explains that because bodily karma is pure, one attains a buddha's elephant-king gaze, and in moving, abiding, sitting, and lying down, all actions and deportments are fully compliant, with the karma cultivated by the body being pursued by speech and mind. From "Deeply cultivating good dharmas" downward explains mental karma. "Deeply cultivating good dharmas, one's practice becomes ever more superior": As the ground of the mind cultivates goodness, it increases and blossoms with the daily renewed excellence, hence it is said to "become ever more superior." "With the Mahāyāna teaching, completing the bodhisattva saṃgha": Precisely because one's inquiry and understanding become increasingly bright, one can fully expound it to people of Mahāyāna mind, completing them into the bodhisattva saṃgha. This completes the mental [karma] above. "Through heedfulness, not losing all goods": Because the mind does not give rise to heedlessness, all goods are not lost. From "Practicing such dharmas" downward concludes all the preceding practices.
