大方廣佛華嚴經疏 55.26

55.26

Fifth, regarding dispatching and not dispatching: the initial Mañjuśrī is at the very beginning, representing faith newly arising internally, and before him there was no one dispatching [Sudhana] to see him; the latter Mañjuśrī has prajñā illuminating to the utmost and sees Samantabhadra's dharmadhātu by himself, so there is also no dispatching; the spiritual friends in between reveal that the myriad practices of pratītyasamutpāda mutually support and complete one another, hence they all instruct and dispatch, pointing to the next person. This also reveals that the spiritual friends do not monopolize goodness for themselves, being free from proprietary attachment.
