大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 36.7

36.7

疏「制之一處無事不辦」者，即《遺教經》文。然亦可通理，以其先後類例多約事故。即是彼經八大人覺中第二明精進初云「汝等比丘！已能住戒，當制五根勿令放逸。乃至云此五根者心為其主，是故汝等當好制心。心之可畏甚於毒蛇惡獸怨賊，大火越逸未足踰也。喻如有人手執蜜器，動轉輕躁，但觀於蜜不見深坑。譬如狂象無鉤、猿猴得樹，騰躍跳擲難可禁制。當急挫之，無令放逸。縱此心者，喪人善事。制之一處，無事不辦。是故比丘當勤精進折伏汝心。」

The commentary's statement, "Restraining it in one place, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished", is a line from the *Bequeathed Teaching Sūtra*. However, it can also be applied to principle, because the earlier and later analogies mostly concern phenomena. That is, in that sūtra's eight awakenings of great people, the beginning of the second, explaining diligence, says: "O monks! Having been able to abide by the precepts, you must restrain the five faculties and not let them be heedless. ...Up to: These five faculties have the mind as their master; therefore you must properly restrain the mind. The mind is more fearful than poisonous snakes, evil beasts, and hateful bandits; even a rampant great fire cannot surpass it. It is like a person carrying a vessel of honey, moving rashly and frivolously, seeing only the honey and not seeing the deep pit. It is like a mad elephant without an iron hook, or a monkey finding a tree, leaping and jumping, hard to restrain. You must urgently subdue it and not let it be heedless. Giving free rein to this mind ruins a person's good deeds. Restraining it in one place, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. Therefore, monks, you must diligently advance to subdue your mind."
