大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 60.6

60.6

疏「細論其義多品不同」者，將上四事交絡相望則成多品。如約殺境，境是一重，更以重心則為二重，復三時重即為三重，更教人殺為其四重。餘例可思。言「為不善者反此可知」者，此有二意：一者通相，前但約不殺，今約殺等；二者如一殺境，前來不殺蚊蚋為上善等，今殺蚊蚋為下惡、殺畜為中惡、殺人為上惡等。引《瑜伽》六十釋為不善，至下當明。

Regarding the commentary’s [statement], “Discussing its meaning in detail, there are many different grades,” when the above four aspects are intertwined and correlated with each other, they result in many grades. For instance, in terms of the object of killing: the object is one layer; if accompanied by a weighty mind, that makes two layers; further, if weighty at all three times, that makes three layers; and if one further instructs others to kill, that makes four layers. The rest may be inferred by analogy. As for the statement, “For unwholesome actions, it can be understood in reverse,” this has two meanings: First, the general aspect: previously it was only in terms of non-killing, whereas now it concerns killing and so forth; second, as in the single object of killing: previously, not killing mosquitoes and gnats was superior wholesome and so forth, whereas now, killing mosquitoes and gnats is inferior evil, killing beasts is middling evil, and killing humans is superior evil, and so on. The quotation of the sixtieth fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi to explain unwholesome actions will be clarified below.
