大方廣佛華嚴經疏 6.3

6.3

自下大文第七稱揚讚德分，亦是發起序。文中有三：第一總結威儀住、第二「此諸眾」下總顯德行因緣、第三「所謂」下別明得法讚佛。前中有三：初結眾集、次明相異、後顯意同。今初。數廣德深，故名眾海。起於自地，集空道場，多數大身重重無礙，雲之象也。又浮雲無心，龍吟則起；菩薩無住，佛現爰來。二「無邊」下，相異也。不唯上列，故云品類無邊。旋環不空，故云周匝遍滿。大小等形、妍媸等色、部主徒從，各有區分，故云差別。三「隨所」下，意同也。隨所來方，參而不雜，皆得見佛各對目前，其猶百川各全覩月。同無異念，故曰一心。諦矚欽承，瞻而且仰，不唯直覩丈六，乃徹見法界身雲。

From here below is the seventh major section, the section of Proclaiming and Praising Virtues, which is also the introductory narrative. In the text there are three parts: first, a general summary of the abiding in majestic deportment; second, from "all these assemblies" onward, a general revelation of the causes and conditions of virtuous conduct; third, from "namely" onward, a specific clarification of the attainment of the Dharma and the praise of the Buddha. In the first part there are three points: first, concluding the gathering of the assembly; next, clarifying the differences of their marks; finally, revealing the identity of their intentions. Now, the first: their numbers being vast and their virtues deep, they are called an ocean-like assembly. Arising from their own grounds, they gather in the space of the bodhimaṇḍa; immense numbers and great bodies, layer upon layer without obstruction—such is the image of clouds. Furthermore, drifting clouds have no mind, but arise when the dragon roars; bodhisattvas have no fixed abiding, but come forth when the Buddha appears. Second, from "boundless" onward, the differences of their marks: not only those listed above, hence it says "the varieties are boundless". Circling without vacancy, hence it says "surrounding and filling everywhere". Shapes of large and small, colors of beauty and ugliness, leaders and followers—each having their own divisions, hence it says "differentiated". Third, from "according to their direction" onward, the identity of their intentions: arriving according to their directions, intermingling without confusion, all are able to see the Buddha directly before their eyes, just as a hundred rivers each fully behold the moon. Having the same single thought without divergence, hence it says "with one mind". Gazing intently and receiving with veneration, they look up and revere; not only directly beholding the sixteen-foot body, but thoroughly perceiving the cloud-body of the dharmadhātu.
