華嚴經探玄記 20.43

20.43

Below, in revealing their own dharmadhātu, there are three parts: first, indicating the name. "Dwelling in illusion" also has two meanings: first, explaining that all known dharmas are falsely established relying on conditions, which is called "dwelling in illusion"; second, the knowing wisdom dwells within the illusory realm; this is dwelling in illusion, hence "dwelling in illusion." Second, from "by this" downward, in explaining the karmic functions, there are two parts: first, briefly knowing ten kinds of dwelling in illusion, each first indicating the name and then explaining it. The first six know the dwelling in illusion of mundane dharmas: the first generally knows; the next two know the illusion of persons and dharmas; the next two know the illusion of birth and death in the three realms; the next one knows the illusion of lands. The last three know the illusion of the three vehicles: the first, the two vehicles; the next, the bodhisattva; the last, the bodhisattva's deeds. Below, it concludes with the illusory realm. "Whose self-nature is inconceivable" means that being and emptiness are non-dual, and therefore inconceivable. Furthermore, because its self-nature eliminates the two extremes and does not abide in the middle, it is said to be inconceivable. Below, concluding and deferring can be understood. Below, benefiting Sudhana can also be seen. The above ten individuals comprehensively conclude the second major section, on the spiritual friends who converge conditions to enter the true characteristics.
