大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 20.50

20.50

疏「尋影之月月體不分」者，此中法喻影略。若具，更云：以月隨影，萬流異見。尋用之體，體本寂然。為寂靜光也。

Regarding the commentary's phrase, “The moon sought from its reflections—the essence of the moon is undivided”: In this, the doctrine and metaphor are condensed. If fully expressed, it would further state: As the moon follows reflections, ten thousand streams see it differently. Seeking the essence behind functions, the essence is fundamentally quiescent. This is quiescent light.
