大方廣佛華嚴經疏 53.7

53.7

Under the sixth [heading], the single section on the path of immeasurable cultivation explains the practice in the Sixth Stage. Because prajñā appears before one, it is genuine cultivation. Having no coming or going, and so forth, refers to the ten equalities and so on. Among the ten: the first four are practices within the antidote to superior conceit, gathering the ten equalities; the latter six are practices within that superior fruit, the excellence of the unstaying path's practice. Because the ten kinds of contemplation of conditions have already been extensively explained there, here they are omitted and not clarified. Among the four: the first three are in terms of dharmas, and the latter one is in terms of similes. In dharmas, there [in the sūtra] the former eight were unfolded from distinct meanings, but here they are explained generally: (1) not giving rise to thoughts; (2) conforming to original nature; (3) dispatching marks of cultivation; these can also be matched with the three natures and three non-natures, to be contemplated according to principle; (4) citing seven similes to universally reveal non-attachment. Among the latter six: (5) although realizing the three emptinesses, one accumulates merit; (6) not clinging to the taught Dharma as inexpressible: because noumenon is round and words are partial, words cannot express it; as having no speech: because the nature has no words; as transcending speech: because one harmonizes only when words are forgotten; (7) not destroying the dharmadhātu of phenomena; (8) not destroying the noumenon of tathatā; (9) generally explaining wisdom of the provisional and actual, and therefore power is inexhaustible—all the above are cultivations of one's own level; (10) is the cultivation of superior progress.
