華嚴經探玄記 6.13

6.13

第二悟因果益，故名慧林。十偈分二：初一標章，謂上半舉佛德難逢，明值可慶；下半舉眾難遇，顯值可欣。離垢大人，是菩薩也。後九釋中，初一釋菩薩眾難遇所以，上半顯自智明、下半辨益物勝。後八釋佛德難逼所由，於中初六正顯佛德、後二約解校量。前中，初一明佛為燈破闇；二六度圓照；三勝德超情；四寂用益生；五見聞獲益；六「因深果厚」下明知解益中，初一寄對供佛校量解益、後一寄對廣施以彰迷損。

Second, because he awakens to the benefit of cause and effect, he is named Mativana. The ten verses are divided into two: the first presents the topic, where the first half brings up the difficulty of meeting the Buddha's virtue, showing that encountering it is cause for celebration, and the second half brings up the difficulty of encountering the assembly, showing that encountering them is cause for rejoicing. The 'great beings free from defilement' are the bodhisattvas. In the nine subsequent explanatory [verses], the first explains the reason why the assembly of bodhisattvas is difficult to encounter: the first half reveals the clarity of their own wisdom, and the second half explains the excellence of their benefiting beings. The latter eight explain the reason why the Buddha's virtue is difficult to approach, wherein the first six properly reveal the Buddha's virtue, and the latter two measure it in terms of understanding. In the former, the first clarifies that the Buddha is a lamp dispelling darkness; the second, that the six pāramitās illuminate completely; the third, that his supreme virtue transcends ordinary sentiment; the fourth, that his quiescent function benefits sentient beings; the fifth, that seeing and hearing him yields benefit; the sixth, from 'Causes are profound and fruits are abundant' onwards, clarifies the benefit of knowledge and understanding, wherein the first verse, in relation to offering to the Buddha, measures the benefit of understanding, and the latter verse, in relation to extensive giving, reveals the loss caused by delusion.
