大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 56.16

56.16

疏「如人觀空」下，第四以喻顯示。眼有小大、空無差別，是故生公依於此理立頓悟義，明唯佛悟證如窮故。十地聖賢皆為信境，未全證如，故云「夫稱頓者，明理不可分。悟語極照。以頓明悟，義不容二。不二之悟符不分之理，理智兼釋謂之頓悟。」即斯意也。雖逈異常談，亦為繫表之玄矣。

On the Commentary's text from “Just as a person viewing space…” onward: this is the fourth [point], demonstrating it through an analogy. Eyes may be small or large, but space is without distinction. It was therefore on the basis of this principle that Master [Daosheng] established the doctrine of sudden awakening, clarifying that only the Buddha's awakening realizes tathatā exhaustively. The sages of the ten grounds are all within the scope of faith and have not yet completely realized tathatā. Thus he said: “Now, that which is termed ‘sudden’ clarifies that principle cannot be divided. ‘Awakening’ speaks of ultimate illumination. When clarifying awakening through suddenness, its meaning does not admit of duality. Non-dual awakening tallies with undivided principle; when principle and cognition are both released, this is called sudden awakening.” This is precisely the meaning. Although it diverges greatly from conventional discussions, it is also a mystery beyond conventional bounds.
