大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 75.35

75.35

疏「上下諸門」下，第四例釋前後。若依叡公，十喻之讚多顯空理。如幻喻云「幻惑愚目，流眄無已，長勤世間。父父子子，我實非我，妄想而起。若了如幻，此心自止。」然彼有十喻，水月鏡像既合影中，更有犍城之喻應同幻攝。彼犍闥婆城喻讚云「世法空廓，如彼鬼城，凌晨敷影，現此都京。愚夫馳赴，隨風而征，終朝乃悟，窮噭失聲。」

Under the Commentary's statement, "All the approaches above and below," is the fourth part, which applies the explanation by analogy to what precedes and follows. If one relies on Master Sengrui, his praises of the ten similes mostly elucidate the principle of emptiness. As the praise of the illusion simile says: "Illusion deludes the eyes of the foolish; / they glance about without cease, / toiling long in the worldly realm. / Fathering fathers and sons sons, / what is truly not self is taken as self, / arising from false conceptualization. / If one understands it to be like an illusion, / this mind will naturally cease." However, there are ten similes there: the water-moon and mirror-image are combined within "reflections," and there is also the simile of the gandharva city, which should be included under illusion. The praise of the gandharva city simile says: "Worldly phenomena are empty and expansive, / like that ghostly city; / spreading its shadow in the early dawn, / it manifests this metropolis. / The foolish rush toward it, / marching with the wind; / awakening only at the end of morning, / they cry out in utter destitution, losing their voices."
