大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 28.10

28.10

疏「若約鉤鎖」者，此當第三依起因果，是所依果，故不同第七說所成者，所成自屬第四差別因果故。疏「以未入位性不定故」下，答此上問。文有五段：一者正答，猶如輕毛未能得入正定聚故；二「若爾」下躡跡生難；三「然說法」下以義釋通；四「第九會」下出四所以；五「是知」下結其深玄。二中「說後定如無量義經」者，即《法華》中經云「為諸菩薩說大乘經，名無量義，教菩薩法，佛所護念。說是經已，結跏趺坐，入於無量義處三昧，身心不動」是也。若出其意，無量義者是出生義，故彼經云「無量者，從一法生。其一法者，所謂無相。」《法華》即是收入之義，故彼經云「究竟至於一切智地。世尊法久後，要當說真實。」今欲收入，先辯出生。若知三乘萬化從實相生，究竟還歸一實相故，欲為《法華》序，故說《無量義》，便入此定。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "If in terms of the interlocking [classification]": this corresponds to the third, the cause and effect of depending and arising; it is the fruit that is depended upon, and thus differs from the seventh, which expounds what is accomplished, because what is accomplished naturally belongs to the fourth, differentiated cause and effect. Commentary: "Because before entering the stages, their nature is not yet fixed..." downward answers the question above. The text has five sections: 1. the direct answer, that like a light feather they have not yet been able to enter the stage of right determination; 2. from "If so" downward, raising an objection by following the preceding trace; 3. from "However, expounding the Dharma" downward, resolving it by explaining the meaning; 4. from "The ninth assembly" downward, stating the four reasons; 5. from "Therefore we know" downward, concluding with its profound mystery. In the second, "expounding after concentration like the Innumerable Meanings Sūtra": this refers to the Lotus Sūtra, where the sūtra states, "He preached for the bodhisattvas the Mahāyāna sūtra named Innumerable Meanings, a doctrine for instructing bodhisattvas, of which the Buddhas are protective and mindful. Having preached this sūtra, he sat cross-legged and entered into the samādhi of the state of innumerable meanings, body and mind unmoving." If we express its meaning: "innumerable meanings" is the meaning of emergence; hence that sūtra states, "The innumerable arise from the one Dharma. That one Dharma is the so-called marklessness." The Lotus is the meaning of gathering in; hence that sūtra states, "Ultimately arriving at the ground of all-knowledge. After a long time, the World-Honoured One will surely preach the truth." Now, wishing to gather in, it first distinguishes emergence. If one knows that the three vehicles and myriad transformations arise from the true mark, they ultimately return to the one true mark; wishing to serve as the preface to the Lotus, he therefore expounded the Innumerable Meanings and entered into this samādhi.
