大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 4.35

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.4.35)

疏「九潛入無礙」等者，文中二：先標章、後「入眾生界」下解釋。釋有二義：一明佛入眾生、二「又亦攝」下明眾生入佛。皆眾生不知，故云潛入。今初有三：初一句正釋、次「如來藏」下引喻、後「故出現」下引證。喻中，眾生真心名如來藏，隨無明等緣，作諸眾生流轉三界，而此真心自性不失。故《勝鬘經》云「不染而染難可了知，染而不染亦難可了知。」若轉以喻顯者，如大海水因風成波，而不失濕性。佛亦如是，隨眾生感，現萬類殊形，而如來身不失自性。此以眾生自法身作自眾生，喻如來真身入一切眾生。

> Regarding the commentary's statement, "Ninth, unimpededness of covert entry", and so forth: there are two parts in the text: first, stating the topic; second, explaining below from "enters the realm of sentient beings". The explanation has two meanings: first, explaining the Buddha entering sentient beings; second, explaining sentient beings entering the Buddha below from "and also gathering in". In both cases sentient beings are unaware, hence it is called "covert entry". The first now has three parts: first, a single sentence directly explaining; next, citing an analogy below from "the tathāgatagarbha"; finally, citing proof below from "therefore the Chapter on the Arising". In the analogy, the true mind of sentient beings is called the tathāgatagarbha; following conditions such as avidyā, it becomes the various sentient beings transmigrating through the three realms, yet this true mind does not lose its own nature. Therefore the Śrīmālā-sūtra states: "Being undefiled yet defiled is difficult to understand; being defiled yet undefiled is also difficult to understand." If this is illustrated further by an analogy: it is like the water of the great ocean forming waves on account of wind, yet not losing its wet nature. The Buddha is also like this: in accord with the responses of sentient beings, he manifests distinct forms of ten thousand kinds, yet the body of the Tathāgata does not lose its own nature. This uses the sentient beings' own dharmakāya becoming their own sentient being \[forms\] to illustrate the Tathāgata's true body entering all sentient beings.
