大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 4.5

4.5

疏「然有言」下，第二敘昔順違。於中，先正敘、後「上之」下決斷。前中第一師云：既七處九會，人三天四，並居娑婆欲界之中，明是穢也。第二師云：說此經時，華藏世界六種震動。又言：其地堅固金剛所成，娑婆乃是土石諸山，豈得將此而為穢也。第三師云：但合上二無礙，謂感娑婆者，對華藏而見娑婆；感華藏者，對娑婆而見華藏。亦如螺髻所見如自在天宮，身子所見丘陵坑坎。〈華藏品〉云「譬如見導師，種種色差別，隨眾生心行，見諸剎亦然。」後決斷言「後一近宗」者，且知剎該淨穢，即二四句中之一句，未窮玄妙，故云近宗。

Regarding the Commentary's statement from "However, there are those who say..." downwards: the second [part] recounts earlier views to show agreement and disagreement. Within this, it first recounts directly, and after "the above..." it determines and judges. In the first part, the first master says: Since there are seven places and nine assemblies, three in the human realm and four in the heavens, and all are within the desire realm of Sahā, it is clear that it is defiled. The second master says: When this sūtra was expounded, the Lotus Treasury World shook in six ways. Furthermore, it says: Its ground was solid, composed of vajra; Sahā is merely earth, stone, and various mountains—how could this be taken as defiled? The third master says: It is merely the unobstructed combination of the two above; that is, those who experience Sahā see Sahā against the Lotus Treasury, and those who experience the Lotus Treasury see the Lotus Treasury against Sahā. It is also like what the Śikhin [Brahmā] saw was like the palace of Paranirmitavaśavartin Heaven, while what Śāriputra saw was hills, ravines, and pits. The "Chapter on the Lotus Treasury" says: "For example, seeing the Guide, there are various different forms; according to the mental activities of sentient beings, seeing the various kṣetras is also like this." Later, determining and judging, it states: "The latter one is close to the principle." Because it only knows that the kṣetra encompasses the pure and the defiled, this is merely one of the two sets of four propositions, and has not exhausted the profound subtlety; therefore, it says "close to the principle."
