大方廣佛華嚴經疏 25.18

25.18

Eighth, from "in all" onwards explains that what he establishes is inconceivable, which is contemplating the Tathāgata's virtue of establishing the true Dharma. Because he can perform acts of benefiting based on the aforementioned skillful means, it is explained next. This means the twelve divisions of the canon are called 'what is established', and because they are profound and vast, they are inconceivable. The text is divided into two: first, discerning profundity and vastness in terms of what is expressed; afterwards, clarifying profundity and vastness in terms of the expressing text. In the first, the first phrase comprehensively reveals it, "erecting" meaning establishing. From "his wisdom" onwards explains surpassing the world in vastness, which is the meaning of a banner. Uprooting and placing on the ground of wisdom is the meaning of erecting. From "all that exists" onwards contrasts merit and wisdom to clarify the meaning of high and vast. Second, from "with great compassion" onwards manifests the body to expound the Dharma, clarifying the establishment in terms of the teaching that expresses.
