大方廣佛華嚴經疏 45.17

45.17

In the fifth samādhi, there are five parts in the explanation: First, discerning wisdom in relation to its objects. Second, directly demonstrating the wisdom of knowing, which each has ten phrases, all of which are dharmas within the storehouse of the past. Third, the divisions of time known, which have fourteen tiers, namely explaining the meaning of "past". Fourth, demonstrating the characteristics of knowing: "not extinguishing the present" means not abandoning; "not conditioning the past" means not grasping. That is, it merely takes the approach of the past to demonstrate that conditioning is free from grasping or abandoning. Each of the above four begins with "Child of the Buddha". Fifth, explaining the benefits attained upon emerging from samādhi, which has three parts: First, citing the number and discerning the characteristics, which has ten phrases. The first phrase is general, referring to the ultimate fruition at the end of the stations, called receiving the abhiṣeka dharma. The remaining phrases are specific: (1) belonging to oneself; (2) purifying hindrances; (3) finality; (4) initial entry; (5) direct realization; (6) ultimate fulfillment; (7) retaining so as not to lose; (8) knowing without knowing; (9) purifying the three wheels, which broadly encompasses the previous nine. If one discerns the three wheels in terms of wisdom, it means being without the knower, the known, and correct knowing; the rest can be deduced accordingly. Second, from "What are they?" onward, it inquires into and lists their names: the first four are the four unhindered eloquences; the next two concern self-benefit, not fearing profound dharmas and being able to practice what one speaks; the next two concern benefiting others, serving as a reliance for the good and a rescue for the evil; the final two generally explain the supreme excellence of the two benefits. Third, from "Child of the Buddha..." onward, it concludes with their rapid attainment, having the Dharma, an analogy, and an application. "Kalala" is here translated as "diluted curd". The rest can be understood.
