大方廣佛華嚴經疏 25.25

25.25

Fifteenth: from "skillfully able to expound" onward clarifies the wisdom sought equally by all bodhisattvas and others; that is, it is the contemplation of the Tathāgata's virtue of the preparatory application of taming sentient beings, upon which immeasurable [beings] rely. Because it is for the sake of inspiring and sustaining śrāvakas of indeterminate lineage, and bodhisattvas only praise the Mahāyāna, it is clarified next. To say "sought equally" means that there is none who does not seek it. The Buddhabhūmi[-sūtra-śāstra] calls it the wisdom that is correctly sought, meaning that only bodhisattvas can correctly seek it. In the text, it first clarifies that what is sought is precisely sarvajñā (all-knowledge), and this sought wisdom is precisely the basis upon which immeasurable bodhisattvas rely. And the word "path" encompasses both cause and fruition. From "for the sake of" onward establishes the meaning of being the basis: that is, when immeasurable bodhisattvas give rise to preparatory applications to tame all sentient beings, they necessarily take the Buddha's predominant condition as primary, hearing the Dharma first, and obtaining wondrous wisdom as their support. Causing them to give rise to vast aspiration is the preparatory application for taming sentient beings. Upholding and practicing it is the cause of achieving wisdom.
