大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 23.11

23.11

疏「即以佛果無邊剎海具三世間無盡自在」者，然〈華藏品〉猶似有邊，有金剛輪山蓮華剎故，此外更有別剎海故。而彼文云「法界無差別已無邊矣。」況〈世界成就品〉云「十方剎海叵思議，佛無量劫皆嚴淨，為化眾生使成熟，出興一切諸國土。」又偈中云「所說無邊眾剎海，毘盧遮那悉嚴淨。世尊境界不思議，智慧神通力如是。」則剎無邊矣。言具三世間者，無邊剎海即器世間，毘盧遮那遍興即智正覺，剎網所持如來所化即眾生世間。言自在者，三種世間互相即入，隱顯重重皆無礙故。故〈華藏〉偈云「華藏世界所有塵，一一塵中見法界，寶光現佛如雲集，此是如來剎自在。」故無盡之義即是無邊。況三皆稱性，所以無盡。

Regarding the Commentary's statement "precisely by means of the Buddha-fruit's boundless ocean of lands possessing the inexhaustible mastery of the three worlds": yet the "Lotus Treasury Chapter" seems to have boundaries, because there are the Adamantine Ring of Mountains and the lotus lands, and beyond this there are other oceans of lands. However, that text says, "The dharmadhātu has no distinction, so it is already boundless." Furthermore, the "Chapter on the Formation of the World" says: "The oceans of lands in the ten directions are inconceivable; the Buddha adorned and purified them across immeasurable kalpas. To transform sentient beings and bring them to maturity, he brings forth all realms." Also, a verse states: "The boundless oceans of lands spoken of were all purified by Vairocana. The realm of the World-Honoured One is inconceivable; such is the power of his wisdom and supernatural faculties." Thus the lands are boundless. Regarding "possessing the three worlds": the boundless ocean of lands is the receptacle world; Vairocana's pervasive manifestation is the enlightened world of cognition; and what is sustained by the network of lands and transformed by the Tathāgata is the world of sentient beings. Regarding "mastery": the three worlds mutually identify and interpenetrate, with layers of concealing and revealing completely unobstructed. Hence a verse in the "Lotus Treasury Chapter" says: "In all the dust motes of the Lotus Treasury World, in each single dust mote one sees the dharmadhātu; jewelled lights manifest Buddhas gathering like clouds—this is the Tathāgata's mastery over lands." Therefore, the meaning of "inexhaustible" is precisely "boundless." What is more, all three accord with the nature, which is why they are inexhaustible.
