1.16

經。聽我誦佛戒甘露門即開　釋曰。第二本身略開。言甘露者。即是涅槃。於涅槃中離死所依蘊名為甘露。如是妙戒為涅槃門。以此為依起無悔等。乃至依定發如實惠。得涅槃故。如雜集論第八言。何故此滅復名甘露。離蘊魔故。永離一切死所依蘊故名甘露。又說。由此律儀能速遠離生死苦故。又說。云何身語隨順現行。由能隨順涅槃得故。謂能隨順得涅槃得能引聖道故。所言開者。謂宣示他故。

Sūtra: “Listening to me chant the Buddha’s precepts, the gate of ambrosia was thereupon opened.” / Commentary: Second is the fundamental body briefly introducing them. “Ambrosia” refers to nirvāṇa. In nirvāṇa, freedom from the aggregates that are the basis of death is called “ambrosia.” These wonderful precepts are the gate to nirvāṇa. Taking them as a basis, non-regret and the like arise, up to relying on concentration to generate genuine wisdom, thereby attaining nirvāṇa. As the Abhidharmasamuccaya-vyākhyā, fascicle 8, states: “Why is this cessation also called ambrosia? Because it is free from the Māra of the aggregates. Because it is forever free from all the aggregates that are the basis of death, it is called ambrosia.” It also says: “Because through this restraint one can swiftly depart from the suffering of birth and death.” It also says: “What is bodily and vocal conformity in action? It is because it can conform to the attainment of nirvāṇa; that is, because it conforms to the attainment of nirvāṇa, it can lead to the noble path.” “Opened” means proclaimed and shown to others.
