仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.65

2.65

Explanation: 'Substance and characteristics are equal' has two aspects: first, equality of substance, because what is realized by all buddhas is equal; second, equality of characteristics, because the Ganges-sand virtues of all buddhas are also equal. 'Called the cognition of all cognitions' refers to two cognitions: 'cognition of all' is the cognition that realizes suchness; the 'cognition' spoken of below is the all-aspect cognition (sarvākārajñāna), the subsequent cognition. The two cognitions, real and conventional, are equal among all buddhas; this is the causal and fruitional stages of contemplative prajñā. Next is the third [major topic], textual prajñā. As the Benji says: 'There are four unexcelleds: first, the unexcelled speaker; second, the unexcelled faithful reception; third, the unexcelled discourse; fourth, the unexcelled wisdom.' First is the first [of these], the unexcelled speaker.
