華嚴經探玄記 20.36

20.36

Within the sixth spiritual friend of the gate of non-attached illusory wisdom: first, in presenting the Dharma to encourage cultivation, the city named Fertile Fields is so named because in South India, near the water, the low, moist fields have very luxuriant crops. It is the same as the below-mentioned Country of the Ocean Inlet, and is also called the City of the Worthy Embankment. Furthermore, because he firmly abides in the liberation he has attained, it is called "firm liberation." Furthermore, having once attained it, he is eternally liberated, hence "firm." Furthermore, regarding the true bodhisattva liberation he has attained, he seeks nothing further; hence it is named so. In the fourth, revealing his own dharmadhātu, there are three parts: first, indicating the name. Right mindfulness appearing before him is free from the cognitive hindrances, hence "non-attached"; free from the affliction hindrances, hence "pure." This means that mindfulness in accord with the principle is unmixed with the two hindrances; hence it is named so. Second, from "I myself" downward, explains that the Dharma is endowed with virtues, fully replete with nothing [further] to seek. Since he is a practitioner on the causal level, how can this be so? Explanation: even if there were further things to be understood, they would not differ from this; one only needs to practice, hence there is no further seeking. Below, concluding with his own stage and deferring to the superior can both be understood.
