華嚴經探玄記 20.19

20.19

The second major section, from "Lady Māyā" onwards, explains the spiritual friends of 'gathering conditions to enter reality'. That is to say, it gathers the previously stated differentiated conditions of the various stages and causes them to return to the equal, one true dharmadhātu, giving birth to the Buddha fruit, just as Māyā gave birth to the Buddha; hence it is explained next. Here there are ten persons, divided into two groups: the first one is general, and the remaining nine are particular. Because Māyā at the beginning obtained the Dharma gate of knowledge-illusion, and the boy and girl at the very end also obtained the Dharma gate of illusory dwelling, the beginning and the end meet each other and the general and the particular interpenetrate, being non-dual.
