大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.35

35.35

疏「其中對上四因四緣可以意得」者，深心信解及深信諸佛及佛法，即第一種性具足因。恭敬尊重一切佛，即第二賴佛菩薩攝受因，以恭敬故。但為永滅眾生苦，即第三多起悲心也。常欲利樂諸眾生、莊嚴國土、供養佛，即第四長時猛利難行苦行也。四因具矣。言「四緣者，恭敬尊重一切佛」者，以見聞神變威力故，即第一緣。受持正法修諸智者，以聞法微妙故，即第二緣。又受持正法者，見法欲滅故，即第三緣。但為永滅眾生苦者，即見生受惑業苦，是第四緣也。見苦即緣、長悲即因，故雖一文，因緣具足。此中四力不具，故不會之。

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Among these, matching them with the four causes and four conditions above can be understood by their meaning": "Deep faith, understanding," and "deeply having faith in all Buddhas and the Buddha-Dharma" are precisely the first cause, endowed with gotra. "Reverencing and respecting all Buddhas" is precisely the second cause, relying on the embrace and support of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, because of reverence. "Solely to perpetually extinguish the suffering of sentient beings" is precisely the third [cause], frequently generating a mind of compassion. "Constantly wishing to benefit and gladden all sentient beings, adorn the buddha-lands, and make offerings to the Buddhas" is precisely the fourth [cause], enduring severe, arduous, difficult practices for a long time. The four causes are complete. As for "the four conditions: 'reverencing and respecting all Buddhas'"—this is due to seeing and hearing their supernatural transformations and majestic power, which is the first condition. "Upholding the true Dharma and cultivating all wisdoms" is due to hearing the wondrous Dharma, which is the second condition. Further, "upholding the true Dharma" is due to seeing that the Dharma is about to be extinguished, which is the third condition. "Solely to perpetually extinguish the suffering of sentient beings" is seeing sentient beings undergoing the suffering of afflictions and karma, which is the fourth condition. Seeing suffering is the condition, and developing compassion is the cause; therefore, although it is a single passage of text, both causes and conditions are fully present. Here, because the four powers are not complete, they are not brought into correspondence.
