淨名經集解關中疏 1.142

1.142

三轉法輪於大千。其輪本來常清淨　此二明詣鹿野苑轉法輪也。道成即化物故。次說法文二。此先明轉法也。三轉者示相轉勸修轉引證轉也。謂初示四諦法相也。次勸修行此四諦也。復言我已獲證令信受也。大千者佛一化境也。肇曰。法輪常淨猶虛空也。雖復古今不同時移俗易聖。聖相傳其道不改。

"He turned the Dharma wheel thrice in the great trichiliocosm; / That wheel was originally always pure." These two [lines] clarify his going to the Deer Park to turn the Dharma wheel. Because once the path was accomplished he immediately transformed beings, he next spoke the Dharma. The text has two parts: this first clarifies the turning of the Dharma [wheel]. "Turned thrice" refers to the turn of demonstrating the marks, the turn of urging cultivation, and the turn of adducing realization. That is, first demonstrating the marks of the phenomena of the four truths; next urging the cultivation and practice of these four truths; and further saying 'I have already attained realization,' causing them to believe and accept. The "great trichiliocosm" is the Buddha's single transformation realm. Sengzhao says: "The Dharma wheel is ever pure, like empty space. Although past and present differ, and times move and customs change, the sage transmits to the sage, and his path does not alter."
