大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 30.51

30.51

疏「若無說無示同佛說也」，亦《淨名》目連章。經云「夫說法者無說無示，其聽法者無聞無得。」說約教道，示約證道。無聞則不如言取，故為真聞。無得則心無所得，方真證得無聞無得。則後偈聽法行中「今此說法，但無說示。」亦同寶積歎佛偈云「善能分別諸法相，於第一義而不動。」故言同佛也。

Regarding the commentary's phrase “If there is neither exposition nor demonstration, it is identical to the Buddha's teaching”: this is also from the chapter on Maudgalyāyana in the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa. The sūtra states: “One who preaches the Dharma has neither exposition nor demonstration; one who listens to the Dharma has neither hearing nor attainment.” Exposition refers to the path of teaching; demonstration refers to the path of realization. Having no hearing means not grasping according to words, which is true hearing. Having no attainment means the mind attains nothing, which is true realization without hearing and without attainment. Thus, in the later verse on the practice of listening to the Dharma, “this present exposition of Dharma merely has no exposition or demonstration.” It also accords with the verse in which Ratnacūḍa praises the Buddha: “Skillfully distinguishing the characteristics of all dharmas, yet unmoved regarding the ultimate truth.” Therefore, it says “identical to the Buddha.”
