大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 47.31

47.31

疏「如此則德本不生」者，此是真有，本有湛然不生。妄惑本空，空無可滅。言「又惑累寂然不生」，翻上惑不滅為不生。「真德湛然不滅」，翻上真不生為不滅。前惑空無可滅，今空則寂然故不生。前以真無初故不生，今以真無後故不滅。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "In this way, virtue fundamentally does not arise": this is the real being existent; what is fundamentally existent is serene and does not arise. Deluded afflictions are fundamentally empty; being empty, there is nothing that can be extinguished. As for the statement, "Moreover, the burdens of defilement are tranquil and do not arise": this reverses the preceding "affliction is not extinguished" into "does not arise." "True virtue is serene and not extinguished" reverses the preceding "the real does not arise" into "is not extinguished." Previously, affliction was empty and had nothing to be extinguished; now, emptiness is tranquil and therefore does not arise. Previously, because the real has no beginning, it did not arise; now, because the real has no end, it is not extinguished.
