大方廣佛華嚴經疏 47.9

47.9

Second, from "At the tip of a single hair" downward, the one hundred and fourteen verses explain that the Buddha's virtues are profound and vast, and that Samantabhadra completely fathoms them—that is, broadly revealing the marks of transformation. Within this there are two parts: first, the preceding ninety-one verses explain that the fruit-virtues are unobstructed and that the causal stage thoroughly fathoms them; second, from "Inexpressible Tathāgatas" downward, explains that the fruit-virtues are profound and vast and the cause can enter into them. Within the first there are also two: first, explaining that the fruit-dharma is unobstructed; second, from "Bodhisattvas are completely able" downward, explaining that the causal stage thoroughly fathoms them. Within the first there are also two: first, three verses explain the mastery of the dependent [environment]; second, from "At each and every one of those hair-tips, expounding the inexpressible" downward, explains that the dependent [environment] and the primary [body] interpenetrate and integrate, being identical and entering with mastery. Within this there are five: 1. The first two and a half verses show the primary [body] within the dependent [environment]. 2. From "In each and every light" downward, eleven and a half verses show the dependent [environment] within the primary [body]. Within this there are two: first, showing the radiance of the lotus; second, from "Those like Mount Sumeru" downward, the function of the pure land. 3. From "Buddhas appearing within the light" downward, five verses show the primary [body] within the dependent [environment] preaching the Dharma. 4. From "Or further" downward, one verse explains constant abiding when manifested. 5. From "Their minds unobstructed" downward, ten and a half verses explain the mastery in training sentient beings. Second, regarding the causal stage thoroughly fathoming it, there are two parts: first, half a verse concludes what preceded and introduces what follows; the remaining verses directly reveal the causal virtues. Within this there are ten: 1. The first eight verses explain that the body and land of Indra's net are the places where practice is undertaken. Furthermore, the previous text explained their unfolding and pervasion, while this explains their containment; the text merely alludes to and condenses this. The statement that a pore can completely contain all lands, etc., is because it accords with the single hair of the dharmatā, and thus contains many lands without an outside; nor do the many lands have their marks destroyed. Settling into the single hair of an awakened one, inner and outer pratītyasamutpāda are neither identical nor separate. 2. From "The faculty of the mind is clear" downward, five verses on the practice of diligent effort in the three karmas. 3. From "All sentient beings" downward, on the practice of gathering in sentient beings according to their capacity. 4. From "Universally manifesting their bodies" downward, five and a half verses explain the practice of traveling to different directions to make offerings to the Buddhas. 5. From "Practicing giving" downward, on broadly cultivating the practice of the ten perfections. 6. From "The ocean of Buddha-lands" downward, two and a half verses on the practice of traveling through lands with mastery. 7. From "Fully knowing sentient beings" downward, on the practice of taming sentient beings. 8. From "Each and every pore inexpressible" downward, seven and a half verses on the practice of deeply pure three karmas. 9. From "All those bodhisattvas" downward, on the practice of mastery in vows and wisdom. 10. From "Inexpressible all kalpas" downward, one verse concludes that the virtues are inexhaustible. Second, within the section explaining that the fruit-virtues are profound and vast and the cause can enter into them, first comes the fruit, and next the cause. Within the former there are three: 1. The first six verses generally praise the Buddha's virtues; 2. From "Within a single paramāṇu there can completely be" downward, specifically explains the dependent [environment]; 3. From "Within each and every land there is a Tathāgata" downward, three verses specifically explain the primary [body]. Second, from "Various numbers" downward, explains the causal virtue entering into it. Within this there are two: first, practice of one's own stage; second, from "Able in a single moment to realize bodhi" downward, practice of superior advancement. This is a rough outline according to the apparent marks. However, each and every one of the above virtues is perfectly interpenetrating, inexhaustible and endless; they can only be realized by putting aside all discursive thoughts.
