大方廣佛華嚴經疏 25.3

25.3

From here below is the Fifth Assembly, clarifying the ten dedications of the higher worthy ones. The four approaches are the same as before. First, in the reason for coming: the assembly's coming is precisely to answer the previous question on dedication, dedicating the previous understanding and practice toward true realization, broadly benefiting self and others, making practice comprehensive and all-pervading. The *Bodhisattva-mahāyānapiṭaka-sūtra* states: "That which uses slight roots of goodness to lead to immeasurable fruits is called the mind of dedication, because the mind of dedication constitutes great benefit." Hence it is clarified after practice. Furthermore, since the previous understanding and practice were prominent, now compassion and vows are even more vast. As for the chapter's coming: since the previous assembly has ended and the subsequent exposition is about to be presented, first clarifying the place of exposition expresses the Dharma, hence it comes.
