大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 34.9

34.9

疏「言非但者，要兼修行」此下，牒經廣釋，一句顯一章大意。於中二：先立理、後引證。前中亦二：先正釋、後「此明不行為失」下揀濫。以人多言此章毀於多聞，令人守愚不習教理，故為此揀。於中有三：初正揀非毀多聞，但責聞而不行，不令行而不聞，次「若無多聞，行無依故」者，返立。無聞無解，依何而行？後「是以不行為失」下，結成上義。多聞不行，調達等是，是經所訶。多聞而行，身子等是，經所不責。善星是佛之子，調達是佛之弟，並解十二部經，不依修行，生身陷入阿鼻地獄。阿難、身子多聞行故，親得授記。

Regarding the commentary’s 'Saying "not only" means one must also cultivate and practice,' from here down, it takes up the sūtra text and explains it broadly, with each sentence clarifying the main idea of a section. In this there are two parts: first establishing the principle, and second citing proof. The former also has two parts: first correctly explaining, and second, from 'This clarifies that not practicing is an error' downward, eliminating misunderstandings. Because many people say that this section disparages having learned much and leads people to hold to ignorance without studying the doctrine, it therefore makes this distinction. In this there are three points: first, correctly distinguishing that it does not disparage having learned much, but merely rebukes hearing without practicing, not ordering people to practice without hearing; second, 'If there is no extensive learning, practice has nothing to rely upon' establishes the inverse: without hearing and without understanding, on what would one rely to practice? Third, from 'Therefore not practicing is an error' downward, it concludes the above meaning. Hearing much without practicing is exemplified by Devadatta and others, which the sūtra reprimands; hearing much and practicing is exemplified by Śāriputra and others, whom the sūtra does not reprove. Sunakkhatta was the Buddha’s son, and Devadatta was the Buddha’s brother; both understood the twelve divisions of scriptures, but because they did not rely on them to cultivate and practice, they fell bodily into the Avīci hell. Ānanda and Śāriputra, because they heard much and practiced, directly received predictions.
