華嚴經探玄記 16.11

16.11

第五大段「說是法時」下明聞法獲益。於中有四：一餘兜率天子得忍益，或當初地、或是八地；二六欲天子發心益、三天女益，此二地前益；四「爾時」下益當機天子。以是普賢五位相攝大善巧法，是故創得出地獄已聞此普法即得十地，明與三乘漸次教不同也。於中，初得位益、二成行益、三勝報益、四滅障益、五見佛益、六結益分齊。謂雖得十地因滿，簡不同果，故云猶未能見等也。

The fifth major section, from "When this Dharma was spoken…" onward, explains the attainment of benefit upon hearing the Dharma. Herein there are four parts: 1. other Tuṣita devaputras obtaining the benefit of patience (kṣānti), which corresponds either to the first bhūmi or to the eighth bhūmi; 2. devaputras of the six desire heavens obtaining the benefit of arousing the mind; 3. devīs obtaining benefit—these two are benefits prior to the bhūmis; 4. from "At that time…" onward, benefiting the devaputras who were the primary audience. Because this is Samantabhadra's great skillful method in which the five stages encompass one another, as soon as they emerged from the hells and heard this universal Dharma, they immediately attained the ten bhūmis, making clear that it is different from the gradual teachings of the three vehicles. Herein, first is the benefit of attaining the stage; second, the benefit of accomplishing practice; third, the benefit of superior retribution; fourth, the benefit of eradicating hindrances; fifth, the benefit of seeing the Buddha; sixth, concluding the limits of the benefit. That is to say, although they attained the fulfillment of the cause of the ten bhūmis, to differentiate it from being identical to the fruit, it therefore says that they were "still not yet able to see," and so forth.
