華嚴經探玄記 19.73

19.73

第二依教進入中亦三，謂敬辭、念法及至後位。就念法中，初因前尼惠照其心，故令長養佛智；二「一心」下因思念前法，後更增長悲智願行。就至後位推求中四：初推問勝故、二為淺智疑怪、三為深智歎善、四指示所在。問：何故前示瞋及邪見，善財自疑；今現貪相，乃令他疑？答：以前二親障菩薩道故，貪愛順悲障行劣故，是故《決定毘尼經》菩薩寧起百千貪心，不起一瞋等。又釋：善財於前瞋及邪見已為調伏，是故於此更不敢疑。指示中，在深宮內者，依《三法度經》，國是智慧境，城是神通境，宮殿是說法境。今此女人正證欲如，故在深宮。往詣門者，加行位終，至正證三昧門也。

In the second part, proceeding to enter in accordance with the teaching, there are also three parts: respectfully taking leave, mindful contemplation of the Dharma, and arriving at the subsequent stage. Within mindful contemplation of the Dharma: first, because the wisdom of the previous bhikṣuṇī illumined his mind, it caused the Buddha's wisdom to be nurtured; second, from "with single-mindedness" onward, because of mindfully recollecting the previous Dharma, he further developed compassion, wisdom, vows, and practice. Within arriving at the subsequent stage and seeking [her], there are four parts: first, seeking and asking because of her superiority; second, doubts and surprise on the part of those of shallow wisdom; third, praise of goodness on the part of those of deep wisdom; and fourth, pointing out her location. Question: Why did Sudhana himself doubt when anger and false views were manifested previously, yet now when the mark of greed is manifested, it causes others to doubt? Answer: Because the previous two directly obstruct the bodhisattva path, whereas greed and attachment accord with compassion and only weakly obstruct practice; therefore, the *Upāliparipṛcchā Sūtra* states that a bodhisattva would rather give rise to hundreds of thousands of greedy thoughts than give rise to a single angry thought, and so forth. Another explanation: Sudhana had already been subdued with respect to the previous anger and false views, and therefore with respect to this he no longer dared to doubt. In pointing out the location, being "inside the deep palace": according to the *Tridharmaka-śāstra*, a kingdom is the realm of wisdom, a city is the realm of spiritual superknowledges, and a palace is the realm of expounding the Dharma. Now this woman directly realizes the suchness of desire, and therefore resides in a deep palace. "Going to the gate": the preparatory stage ends, reaching the gate of the samādhi of direct realization.
