華嚴經探玄記 12.3

12.3

初釋名者，《唯識》第九云「成就勝定大法總持，能發無邊妙慧光故，名發光地。」解云：由得勝定發修慧光，由得總持發聞慧光。《金光明經》云「無量智慧光明三昧不可傾動、無能摧伏，聞持陀羅尼為作本，故名明地。」《攝論》云「由無退轉等持等至所依止故，大法光明所依止故，名發光地。」世親釋云「由此地中與三摩地、三摩鉢底常不相離無退轉故，於大乘法能作光明，名發光地。」無性釋云「靜慮名等持，無色名等至。或等持者，心一境相。等至，正受現前。大法光明所依止者，於大乘教得智光明，此地是彼所依因故，名為發光。」解云：地從所發果法為名。《解深密經》及《瑜伽論》，意同《攝論》。《顯揚論》云「證得靜慮三摩地蘊，大智光明之所依止。」《智論》四十九名為光地。《十住論》云「廣博多學，為眾說法，能作照明，故名明地。」《仁王經》名明慧地。《地論》等並如前辨。

First, explaining the name: Vijñaptimātratā[siddhi], fascicle nine, states: "Because it accomplishes superior concentration and the great Dharma dhāraṇī, and can emit the boundless light of wondrous wisdom, it is named the Luminous Bhūmi (Prabhākarī)." Interpretation: through obtaining superior concentration, it emits the light of cultivated wisdom; through obtaining dhāraṇī, it emits the light of heard wisdom. The Suvarṇaprabhāsa Sūtra states: "The samādhi of the immeasurable light of wisdom cannot be shaken or vanquished, and has the dhāraṇī of retaining what is heard as its basis; therefore it is named the Luminous Bhūmi." The Mahāyānasaṃgraha states: "Because it is the support of irreversible samādhi and samāpatti, and the support of the great Dharma's illumination, it is named the Luminous Bhūmi." Vasubandhu explains: "Because in this bhūmi one is constantly inseparable from and irreversible in samādhi and samāpatti, and is able to produce illumination regarding the Mahāyāna Dharma, it is named the Luminous Bhūmi." Asvabhāva explains: "Meditation (dhyāna) is named samādhi; the formless [attainments] are named samāpatti. Alternatively, samādhi is the characteristic of one-pointedness of mind; samāpatti is correct absorption being manifested. As for being the support of the great Dharma's illumination, one attains the light of wisdom regarding the Mahāyāna teaching; because this bhūmi is the supporting cause of that, it is named 'emitting light' (prabhākarī)." Interpretation: the bhūmi takes its name from the fruit-dharmas it produces. The Saṃdhinirmocana Sūtra and the Yogācārabhūmi share the same intention as the Mahāyānasaṃgraha. The Prakaraṇāryavācā states: "Realizing the aggregate of dhyāna-samādhi, it is the support of the great light of wisdom." Fascicle forty-nine of the Dà zhìdù lùn names it the Light Bhūmi. The Daśabhūmika-vibhāṣā states: "Broadly and extensively studying, expounding the Dharma for the assembly, and able to produce illumination; therefore it is named the Luminous Bhūmi." The Benevolent King Sūtra names it the Luminous Wisdom Bhūmi. The Daśabhūmika-bhāṣya and others are all distinguished as before.
