大方廣佛華嚴經搜玄分齊通智方軌 1.14

1.14

The introductory text is divided into two: first, explaining the authentication of faith; second, from 'the heavenly kings arranged offerings, etc.' onward, explaining its initiation preface. The text of the authentication of faith has two meanings: the first two phrases of four characters are specific to this authentication of faith; second, from 'At one time' downward, the meaning is pervasive. This is in terms of one meaning. Alternatively, the meaning of the two phrases may be pervasive throughout the entire text while the wording is specific; and from the initial 'At one time' downward, the wording is pervasive while the meaning is specific. In terms of this meaning, there are six phrases: first, 'Thus'; second, 'have I heard'; third, 'at one time'; fourth, 'the Buddha'; fifth, 'abode'; sixth, 'the assembly hearing together'.
