華嚴經探玄記 8.43

8.43

From here on, the second [part] explains the dedication toward the actual limit of reality. In accord with the word 'abiding' in the 'Chapter on the Bhūmis' below, this passage must refer to the practice of dedication that purifies and refines. There are twenty-eight clauses. The first ten are based on the three karmas, the five aggregates, and the three categories, wherein internal and external are identical in mark to true suchness; therefore, they are dedicated toward the dharmadhātu. 'Internal' refers to the primary fruition, and 'external' refers to the environment of fruition. The remaining eighteen clauses bring practice and concrete phenomena into identity with the dharmadhātu; therefore, dedication is spoken of. Above, the primary dedication is concluded.
