大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 18.98

疏「掩塵蔽日普覆無心」者，即《十地經》及《法華》意。法雲地云「佛子！此地菩薩以自願力，起大悲雲震大法雷，通明無畏以為電光，福德智慧而為密雲，現種種身周旅往返，於一念頃普遍十方百千億那由他世界微塵數國土，演說大法摧伏魔怨。復過此數，於無量百千億那由他世界微塵數國土，隨諸眾生心之所樂，霔甘露雨滅除一切眾惑塵焰，是故此地名為法雲。」釋曰：此即掩塵及普覆義。無心之義乃是通說，即〈出現〉云「復次佛子！譬如海中有大龍王名大莊嚴，於大海中降雨之時，或降十種莊嚴雨，或百或千或百千種莊嚴雨。佛子！水無分別，但以龍王不思議力令其莊嚴，乃至百千無量差別。如來、應、正等覺亦復如是，為諸眾生說法之時，或以十種差別音說，或百或千或以百千或以八萬四千音聲說八萬四千種行，乃至或以無量百千億那由他音聲各別說法，令其聞者皆生歡喜。如來音聲無所分別，但以諸佛甚深法界圓滿清淨，能隨眾生根之所宜，出種種言音皆令歡喜」等，即無心義。即娑竭興雲喻中亦云「雖彼龍王其心平等無有彼此，但以眾生善根異故而有差別。」亦是無心之義。《法華》亦云「我無貪著亦無限礙」，又云「等雨法雨而無懈倦」，皆無心義。

Regarding the commentary's phrase "Concealing dust, veiling the sun, universally covering without intention": this reflects the intention of the Daśabhūmika-sūtra and the Lotus Sūtra. Regarding the Cloud of Dharma Stage, it says: "O sons of the Buddha! A bodhisattva on this stage, by the power of his own vows, raises clouds of great compassion, sounds the thunder of the great Dharma, uses psychic knowledges, insight, and fearlessness as lightning, and merit and wisdom as dense clouds; manifesting various bodies, journeying to and fro, in a single thought-moment universally traversing lands as numerous as the dust motes of hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of worlds throughout the ten directions, expounding the great Dharma and subduing the maras and adversaries. Exceeding this number, in lands as numerous as the dust motes of immeasurable hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of worlds, according with that which the minds of sentient beings delight in, he pours down the rain of amṛta to extinguish the flames of the dust of all afflictions. Therefore this stage is named 'Cloud of Dharma.'" Explication: This is the meaning of concealing dust and universally covering. The meaning of "without intention" is an overarching teaching, for the "Manifestation" chapter says: "Furthermore, sons of the Buddha! Just as in the ocean there is a great dragon king named Mahālaṅkāra, who, when pouring down rain in the ocean, sometimes pours down ten kinds of adorned rain, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a hundred thousand kinds of adorned rain. Sons of the Buddha! The water is without conceptual discrimination, yet solely by the dragon king's inconceivable power are those adornments produced, even up to hundreds of thousands of immeasurable distinctions. The Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha is also like this: when expounding the Dharma for sentient beings, he speaks with ten kinds of distinct sounds, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a hundred thousand, or expounds eighty-four thousand kinds of practices with eighty-four thousand sounds, and even expounds the Dharma with immeasurable hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of sounds respectively, causing those who hear to all produce joy. The Tathāgata's voice is without conceptual discrimination, yet solely through the profound, perfectly complete, and pure dharmadhātu of all Buddhas, he can accord with what is suitable for the faculties of sentient beings to produce various speech and sounds, causing them all to rejoice," and so forth; this is the meaning of "without intention." Also, in the parable of Sāgara raising clouds, it says: "Although that dragon king's mind is impartial, without 'this' or 'that', distinctions exist solely because of the differences in the good roots of sentient beings." This is also the meaning of "without intention." The Lotus Sūtra also says: "I am without greed or attachment, and also without limit or obstruction," and further says: "Raining down the Dharma-rain equally without weariness or fatigue"; all of these are the meaning of "without intention."
