刀杖是質礙，屬地字門攝，菩薩於質礙地門通達明了。如《華嚴》四十明：「彌多羅童女於師子奮迅城師子幢王宮中，處明淨寶藏法堂，不可思議莊校此堂，一瑠璃柱、一金剛壁、一摩尼鏡、諸寶、諸鈴、諸樹、諸形像、諸瓔珞中，住是一切質礙具內，悉見一切如來從初發心行菩薩道，乃至成等正覺、入滅皆於中現，無不明了，如於淨水見月影像，此法門名般若普莊嚴法門。善財入此地法門時，能得不可說陀羅尼、大慈大悲陀羅尼、能作佛事陀羅尼，一切法無不具足。」當知地字門普應一切，令得解脫也。

Swords and staves are material resistance, subsumed under the syllable-gate of earth; the bodhisattva thoroughly and clearly understands the earth-gate of material resistance. As the forty[-fascicle] Huayan explains: 'The maiden Mitrā, in the palace of King Siṃhadhvaja in the city of Siṃhavikrīḍita, dwelt in a radiant, pure jewel-treasury dharma hall. This hall was adorned inconceivably: within each single lapis lazuli pillar, each single adamantine wall, each single maṇi mirror, various gems, various bells, various trees, various images, and various necklaces—abiding inside all these objects of material resistance, one completely sees all Tathāgatas from their first arousal of the aspiration, practicing the bodhisattva path, up to realizing equal and perfect awakening and entering extinction, all appearing within them, none not clearly distinct, like the image of the moon seen in clear water. This dharma gate is called the Prajñā Universal Adornment dharma gate. When Sudhana entered this earth dharma gate, he was able to attain ineffable dhāraṇīs, the great kindness and great compassion dhāraṇī, the dhāraṇī able to perform Buddha-work, with all dharmas fully complete.' One should know that the syllable-gate of earth universally responds to all, causing them to attain liberation.
