華嚴經探玄記 11.28

11.28

六次第者，初自既證信，成佛因果；二傷愍眾生處苦流轉，故起大悲；三誓當救彼具得佛果之樂，故起大慈；四為欲救他，自無顧戀故，一切悉施；五為益他故，為他求彼世出世法無有疲倦；六由求無倦，證解經書。七善知經論故，於眾生上中下類，善能籌量應作不應作等故，起善解世法；八依應時分量等正行，故起慚愧；九於前所作懃無退轉故，起堪受力；十以堪受力，能供養佛，如說行也。

Sixth, the sequence: first, having oneself realized faith, one accomplishes the causes and effects of Buddhahood; second, feeling pity for sentient beings who abide in suffering and transmigration, one therefore gives rise to great compassion; third, vowing that one should rescue them so that they fully attain the joy of the fruit of Buddhahood, one therefore gives rise to great benevolence; fourth, wishing to rescue others, being oneself without clinging or attachment, one gives away everything; fifth, for the sake of benefiting others, one seeks for them those mundane and supramundane dharmas without weariness; sixth, due to seeking without weariness, one realizes and understands the scriptures and treatises; seventh, because one knows the scriptures and treatises well, one is adept at weighing what should and should not be done among the superior, middling, and inferior classes of sentient beings, and therefore gives rise to the skillful understanding of mundane dharmas; eighth, relying on correct practices according to the appropriate time, measure, and so forth, one therefore gives rise to shame and conscience; ninth, because one is diligent without regression in what was previously done, one gives rise to the power of endurance; tenth, through the power of endurance, one is able to make offerings to the Buddhas and practice as taught.
