大方廣佛華嚴經疏 56.18

56.18

Second, from 'Seeing this monk' onward, clarifies seeing, paying homage, and inquiring. Within this are three parts: first is seeing; next, from 'At that time the youth Sudhana' onward, is paying homage; third, from 'spoke these words' onward, is inquiring. Within this are two parts: first he states his own generating of the mind [for awakening]; next, from 'yet I do not know' onward, he directly presents his question. Within this are twenty phrases of questioning, and the text is divided into three: the first ten phrases are general questions, because one initiates practice regarding the Dharma. The term 'Buddhadharma' universally applies to all practices and dharmas. Among them, 'cleansing and purifying' is purification through antidotes. 'Deeply purifying' is pervasive purification through tallying with noumenon. The rest can be understood. Second, from 'I have heard' onward, concludes what came before and requests what follows, intending to reveal that the subsequent questions differ from the preceding questions. Third, the ten phrases from 'How do bodhisattvas not abandon seeing the Buddha' onward specifically inquire into the arising of superior functions through practice. In the ten phrases, what is practiced is distinct in each: among them, the first three phrases clarify the practice of not departing from the Triratna; the next two phrases, the practice of not abandoning the two benefits; the next two phrases, the practice of gathering the Buddha's dependent and primary [retributions]; the next one phrase, the practice of non-abiding through compassion and wisdom; the final two phrases, the practice of gathering dharmas and realizing entry. All state 'not abandoning' because there is no temporary departure.
