華嚴經探玄記 8.10

8.10

From here below, the third [part] analyzes the benefits accomplished by practice. Within this there are two: first, the benefit of correctly according and conforming with cause and effect at the time of dedication. The phrases are distinct in nine: the first two accord with the Buddha jewel and Dharma jewel; the next two accord with causal wisdom and fruition wisdom; the next two accord with mind and object following phenomena, where 'meaning' is the object's meaning; the next two accord with mind and object entering principle; the last one accords with the pure dharmadhātu. Second, from here below, it clarifies the benefit of causing oneself and others to enter the Dharma after dedication. Within this there are also nine phrases: the first phrase is the benefit of benefiting others; the remaining eight are the benefits of one's own practice, meaning that understanding in accord with the Dharma, there are no violations or faults. Furthermore, not abandoning true emptiness and not violating conditioned existence, emptiness and existence are without obstruction; therefore it is said that 'the power of Dharma is complete'. From 'Son of the Buddha' onward, it concludes with the name. The above concludes the practices of the stages.
