大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 53.8

53.8

疏「二地前地上相對」者，遠公云：「二約位相對。解行已前依教修行，名為阿含。初地已上離言合實，說之為證。」疏「如下請中歎眾以地前聞思修等為教淨」等者，即解脫月歎眾堪聞請中文。經云「善淨深心」，此句為總。下九別云「善潔思念、善修諸行、善集助道、善能親近百千億佛、成就無量功德善根。」此五別句為教淨。次云「捨離癡惑、無有垢染、深心信解、於佛法中不隨他教，名為證淨。」釋曰：以前五句屬地前故。

In the Commentary, regarding "Second, contrasting before the grounds and upon the grounds": Master Huiyuan says, "Second, contrasting in terms of stages: prior to understanding and practice, cultivating practice in accordance with the teaching is called āgama. From the first ground upward, transcending speech and tallying with reality is spoken of as realization." In the Commentary, "As in the entreaty below, praising the assembly by taking hearing, thinking, cultivating, and so forth prior to the grounds as purity of teaching..." and so on: this refers to the text in the entreaty where Vimukticandra praises the assembly as capable of hearing. The sūtra states: "Well-purified profound mind"—this phrase is the general. The nine specific phrases below state: "well-cleansed reflections, well-cultivated practices, well-gathered auxiliaries to the path, being well able to draw near to hundreds of thousands of koṭis of Buddhas, and accomplishing immeasurable roots of goodness of merit." These five specific phrases are purity of teaching. Next it states: "Renouncing delusion and confusion, free from defilement, having deep-minded faith and understanding, and not following other teachings within the Buddha-dharma are called purity of realization." The subcommentary explains: This is because the preceding five phrases belong to [the stages] prior to the grounds.
