大方廣佛華嚴經疏 17.9

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [17.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.17.9)

第四「即以」下各嚴殿座。表嚴根欲之殿，為法器故。置師子座，表十住之法門故。文有十句，初總、餘別。總云普光明藏者，此是解位智，照法空含眾德故。從信始入，故有置言。別中，初句約體、餘並顯嚴。皆云十千者，萬行因感故。言層級者，萬行熏成故。金網防護、慈悲帳蓋以育以覆，四攝繒綺以為周垂，圓融行願交絡萬善，柔忍慚愧以覆法空第一義天，清淨梵行繞斯法體，一一智照故日光明。於生死中遣長夜闇，舉斯果德令物行因。下行向中約位漸增，表法無異。

> Fourth, from "Thereupon with..." onward, each adorns their palace and seats, symbolizing the palace that adorns the faculties and desires so that they become Dharma-vessels. Setting up the lion thrones symbolizes the Dharma-gates of the ten abodes. The text has ten phrases: the first is general, the rest are specific. The general phrase says "treasury of universal radiance": this is the wisdom of the station of understanding, illuminating the emptiness of dharmas and containing all virtues. Because one first enters from faith, it says "set up." Among the specific phrases, the first phrase concerns the essence, and the rest all reveal adornment. All saying "ten thousand" is because they are prompted by the causes of the myriad practices. Calling them "tiers" is because they are perfumed and formed by the myriad practices. The golden nets provide protection; the canopies of compassion nurture and cover; the silk ribbons of the four attractions hang all around; the interpenetrating practices and vows intertwine ten thousand goodnesses; gentle forbearance and shame cover the supreme sky of the emptiness of dharmas; pure brahma-conduct surrounds this Dharma-essence; each illumination of wisdom is therefore called radiance. Dispersing the darkness of the long night in saṃsāra, presenting these result-virtues inspires beings to practice the causes. Below, in the \[assemblies on\] the practices and dedications, they progressively increase according to the stages, symbolizing that the Dharma does not differ.
