大方廣佛華嚴經疏 25.17

25.17

Seventh, from "constantly with the sun of the Buddha" onwards explains unimpeded conduct, contemplating the Tathāgata's virtue of being born in the world without being hindered by worldly dharmas, showing that among those transformed by the Tathāgata there is no obstruction of high or low; hence it is explained next. This means that the eight worldly winds cannot constrain or obstruct him. Śīlabhadra calls this the virtue of subjugating Māra, meaning that sensory realms such as form cannot disrupt him. In the text, that the sun of the Buddha's body universally illuminates the dharmadhātu is horizontal unimpededness; that it is constantly manifest and never sets is vertical unimpededness. Not failing to manifest on account of the faithless or those born blind directly reveals that the eight winds do not obstruct him. From "constantly abiding" onwards reveals the cause of unimpededness; having no change demonstrates the mark of unimpededness, just as a maṇi jewel does not change with external objects. Not clinging to 'what is mine' is unobstructed internally; being untainted by worldly dharmas is unobstructed externally, because he abides in transcendence like a lotus. As a verse says: "All Buddhas constantly roam the world, / benefiting and delighting all sentient beings. / The mighty winds of the eight dharmas and erroneous discriminations / cannot sway or constrain them."
