華嚴經探玄記 7.57

7.57

Second, within the verses, there are twenty-four verses, divided into six parts: First, one verse versifies the preceding indication of intent and explanation of the name. Second, the next two verses versify the preceding dedication of the joy of buddhahood. Third, from "All mundane worlds" onward, eleven verses versify the preceding dedication to sentient beings to cause them to accomplish buddhahood. In this, there are three: the first four verses dedicate rejoicing and joy to sentient beings; second, from "When a bodhisattva cultivates this dedication" onward, four verses explain dedicating in the same way as the buddhas to benefit sentient beings; third, from "All karmic actions cultivated by the bodhisattva" onward, three verses explain right mindfulness dedication to bring peace and joy to sentient beings. Fourth, from "Immeasurable across the ten directions" onward, four verses versify the preceding dedication to bodhisattvas. Fifth, from "The mind does not calculate" onward, two verses versify the preceding dedication to the reality limit: the first verse reaches the limit of phenomena, and the latter verse exhausts the source of conceptions, meaning knowing that conceptions have no self-nature is called transcending all conceptions. Nor does it destroy conceptions, because the conceiving mind is necessarily devoid of intrinsic nature and does not wait to be destroyed. Nor does it destroy non-conception, because nonexistence is not without non-nature. In this way, one fully understands that the conceptions of sentient beings are free from existence and free from nonexistence. Sixth, below there are four verses, which versify praise of the benefits. In this, the first verse versifies the purity of the three karmas; the next two verses versify emulating the dedications of the buddhas of the three times; the final verse praises supremacy, having seven types of wisdom, which can be understood.
