華嚴經探玄記 7.43

7.43

第五說分中，但大迴向位有二分：一果分，當不可說，非此所論。二因分，隨說有四：一唯約位相，如始終教說，《瓔珞本業經》等辨；二唯約自體，如普賢大迴向行，不依諸位；三以行體從位門階差說，如此下文分迴向為十門者是；四以位門隨行體圓融說，如下一一位中攝一切位，第十即至究竟法界因圓滿者是。今此文中，正辨後二、兼攝前二，亦內攝果分，准思之。

Fifth, in the exposition section, the stages of the great dedication have two divisions: first, the division of the result, which corresponds to the ineffable and is not what is discussed here. Second, the division of the cause, in accordance with which four [explanations] are taught: 1. purely in terms of the marks of the stages, as taught in the initial and final teachings and distinguished in the Yingluo benye jing and other texts; 2. purely in terms of its own essence, such as the practice of the great dedication of Samantabhadra, which does not rely on any stages; 3. by explaining the essence of practice in accordance with the gradations of the approaches of the stages, as when the text below divides dedication into ten approaches; 4. by explaining the approaches of the stages in accordance with the perfect interpenetration of the essence of practice, as when the text below shows that each and every stage includes all stages, and the tenth directly reaches the complete perfection of the cause of the ultimate dharmadhātu. Now in this text, it is the latter two that are directly distinguished, while also encompassing the former two and implicitly subsuming the division of the result; one should reflect on this accordingly.
