大方廣佛華嚴經疏 45.19

45.19

In the seventh samādhi, the explanation has two parts: first, explaining the essence and function of the samādhi; next, explaining the benefits of the samādhi. The former also has two: first, an inquiry; next, the explanation. The reason it inquires again is that the earlier general inquiry was about the samādhi as a whole, whereas this specifically inquires about adornment. Next, from "Child of the Buddha, the bodhisattva..." onward, the explanation has two: first, explaining all worlds; because it is the present, it merely says the "ten directions"; second, from "all see the Buddhas..." onward, explaining their adornment. Therein are two: first, generally listing ten gates, all of which are adornments. Therein, the eighth, which specifically explains adornment, means adorning the mind with merit and wisdom, and adorning the body with physical marks and radiance. Next, from "the assembly is pure..." onward, specifically demonstrating the marks of adornment to expand upon the previous two: (1) expanding upon the assembly; (2) expanding upon the adornment. The first has three: first, explaining seeing others; second, seeing oneself; third, the capacity to see. The first of these also has three: first, seeing the essence and marks of the assembly; next, from "also sees the assembly..." onward, explaining seeing their measure; last, from "also sees the Buddhas therein..." onward, seeing the activities of the Buddhas. Second, from "the bodhisattva mahāsattva..." onward, seeing oneself, which can be understood. Third, from "when seeing thus..." onward, the capacity to see, which has the Dharma, an analogy, and an application. In the Dharma, it explains seeing without discrimination; in the analogy, it explains the expresser and the expressed. Not saying of itself "I am the expresser or the expressed", yet not abandoning the expresser and the expressed, is used to analogize knowing because of being without discrimination. In the application, it first applies "not abandoning", and next, from "yet regarding..." onward, applies "not discriminating". Second, from "Child of the Buddha, seeing the Buddha's immeasurable light and colors..." onward, expanding upon the above adornments, there are two: first, expounding in terms of Dharma; next, demonstrating through analogies. In the former, there are two: first, setting forth the section headings, briefly raising four kinds of adornment as all being distinctly and clearly realized; next, from "or seeing the Buddha's body..." onward, explaining individually according to the headings. That is, it divides into four: (1) explaining immeasurable light and colors; (2) from "or seeing the Buddha's body, its measure..." onward, explaining immeasurable shapes and marks; (3) from "Child of the Buddha, when the bodhisattva sees thus..." onward, explaining the above consummation and achievement, showing that the previous two are consummate; (4) from "also seeing the Buddha..." onward, explaining the above equality and purity, which combines the internal two adornments. Second, from "Child of the Buddha, when the bodhisattva sees the Buddha thus..." onward, demonstrating through analogies, there are three: First, the analogy of space having no increase or decrease, illustrating that the dharmatā-kāya cannot increase or decrease. The largeness or smallness of space lies in worlds and mustard seeds, not in the essence of space itself; just so, the body of dharmatā differs according to the receptive vessels. Second, the analogy of the moon having no increase or decrease, illustrating that because the essence of the true, eternal physical body does not change, realizations may be near or far, and seen differently according to the mind. The previous analogy merely analogized the Buddha's body; this analogy combines the light, color, and consummation of achievement. Third, the analogy of objects appearing according to the mind, illustrating the above purity: when the bodhisattva's mind is pure, they see the Buddha as pure; in the Tathāgata, what purity or defilement could there be?
