大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 73.28

73.28

疏「合中總云」下，疏文分四：一順釋不奪。二「若奪」下反以成立。三「喻中」下會通法喻，成俱不奪。以喻中云「得大海名不可移奪」，明約果也；法合則云「名菩薩行不可移奪」，故知約因。四「故論」下別引論證成。由經影略，故論雙明。然論具云「難度能度大果功德者，因果相順故。十地如大海難度能度，得大菩提果故。」今以言揀之，故論易了。然上說有三種地：一修地、二成地、三法地；今明相，正順在後二度即到也。疏「以深廣故」者，六深、七廣，餘可知。然《涅槃》三十三明海有八德：一者漸漸轉深、二者深難得底、三者同一鹹味、四者潮不過限、五者有種種寶藏、六者大身眾生所居、七者不宿死屍、八者一切萬流大雨投之不增不減。釋曰：彼經通喻佛法，廣有合相。今喻次第喻於十地，故加至十，不同彼次。

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "In the matching, it generally states..." downward: the Commentary's text is divided into four: 1. Accordant explanation without appropriation. 2. From "If appropriating..." downward, establishing it conversely. 3. From "Within the simile..." downward, harmonizing the phenomena and the simile to establish that neither is appropriated. Because the simile says, "obtaining the name of the great ocean which cannot be altered or appropriated," it is clearly about the fruit; whereas the matching of phenomena says, "named the bodhisattva practice which cannot be altered or appropriated," so we know it is about the cause. 4. From "Therefore the Śāstra..." downward, specifically citing the Śāstra to corroborate. Because the sūtra is implicit and condensed, the Śāstra clarifies both. However, the Śāstra states in full: "As for the virtues of the great fruit, difficult to cross and able to cross, cause and effect correspond to each other. The ten grounds are like the great ocean, difficult to cross and able to cross, because one attains the great fruit of bodhi." Now, distinguishing it with words, the Śāstra is easy to comprehend. However, it was said above that there are three kinds of grounds: 1. The ground of cultivation, 2. The ground of fulfillment, 3. The ground of reality. Now clarifying the characteristics, it directly accords with the latter two: crossing means arriving. Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Because it is deep and vast": the sixth is deep, the seventh is vast, and the rest can be understood. However, the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra], fascicle 33, explains that the ocean has eight virtues: 1. It gradually becomes deeper; 2. It is deep and difficult to reach the bottom; 3. It shares a single salty flavor; 4. The tide does not exceed its limit; 5. It contains various treasuries of jewels; 6. It is inhabited by beings of great bodies; 7. It does not harbor corpses; 8. All the myriad currents and great rains entering it neither increase nor decrease it. Explanation: that sūtra generally compares it to the Buddhadharma, having broadly matched characteristics. Here, the simile sequentially illustrates the ten grounds, hence it is expanded to ten, differing from that order.
