華嚴經探玄記 18.10

18.10

Fourth, interpreting the text: in this chapter, there are broadly two parts: first, explaining the root assembly; second, from "At that time, Mañjuśrī, having departed from the Good Dwelling Multistoried Tower..." onwards, explaining the branch assemblies. Also, the former explains the fruition dharmadhātu, and the latter explains the causal dharmadhātu. Again, the former explains entering the dharmadhātu suddenly, and the latter explains entering the dharmadhātu gradually. Again, the former is general, and the latter is particular. Thus root and branches perfectly interpenetrate without obstruction; contemplate this.
