大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 11.29

11.29

疏「舊經十住品」者，二引證也。所以引舊經者，以文顯故。今經云「無量無數輪圍山，欲悉令入毛孔中，如其大小皆得知，菩薩以是初發心。」若依當經，則無定性之理，義非顯著。豈如晉經「欲知至大有小相」耶？

As for the commentary's "The 'Chapter on the Ten Abodes' in the old sūtra": this is the second, citing scriptural evidence. The reason the old sūtra is cited is that its text is clear. The present sūtra says: "Countless, innumerable Cakravāḍa mountains, / Wishing to make them all enter into a single pore, / Understanding their large and small sizes as they are— / With this, the bodhisattva initially generates the mind." If one relies on the present sūtra, then the principle of lacking a fixed nature is not distinctly apparent in meaning. How could it compare to the Jin sūtra's "Wishing to know that the utmost large possesses the characteristic of the small"?
