華嚴經探玄記 8.38

8.38

First, explaining the name: the 'dedication equal to the boundless dharmadhātu' establishes its name from dharma, having four meanings: 1. in terms of the practice-dharmas dedicated, meaning that dedication is accomplished through the practice of the gift of Dharma, hence called 'equal to the dharmadhātu'; 2. in terms of the essence of the practice dedicated, meaning that the essence of the practice dedicated is vast, boundless, and equal to the dharmadhātu; 3. in terms of the wisdom that dedicates; 4. in terms of the virtues dedicated, meaning that one dedicates roots of good equal to the dharmadhātu with great wisdom that accords with the dharmadhātu toward the great function of the dharmadhātu, hence the name is established. This represents the ultimate culmination of the stages, and thus it is designated with the appellation of dharmadhātu.
