大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 3.9

3.9

第十均融始末首尾可觀者，然造疏大體，皆初重後輕。若更廣開門庭，消文疏略，至於弘闡，聖旨多沈。今以大經九會始末深玄，逢義即明，不揀初後。但初已釋，後不重明，故義科章門落落星布，使初中後善、始末可觀也。略述製疏有斯十意，故忘軀靈境、仰述玄猷，本意皆為眾生得同普賢諸佛耳。

Tenth, harmoniously balancing beginning and end so that the head and tail are worthy of examination: The general style of composing a commentary is usually heavy at the beginning and light at the end. If one broadly opens the doctrinal approaches further, the textual parsing becomes sparse and brief, and when it comes to propagating the teaching, the holy intent is largely submerged. Now, because the beginning and end of the nine assemblies in the great sūtra are profound and mysterious, whenever a doctrine is encountered it is elucidated, without discriminating between beginning and end. However, once an explanation has been given at the outset, it is not repeatedly explained later. Therefore, the doctrinal headings and chapter divisions are laid out like stars, rendering it good in the beginning, middle, and end, with the beginning and end both worthy of examination. This briefly outlines these ten intentions in producing the commentary. Therefore, forgetting my physical body at the spiritual site, I respectfully narrate the profound scheme, my fundamental intention being solely that sentient beings may become equal to Samantabhadra and all the Buddhas.
