大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 76.13

76.13

疏「不知此影無遠近故」者，即釋經中「影不隨物而有遠近」。如執鏡臨池，池中月出，而此影不近天上之月。去地四萬二千由旬，影落潭中而亦不遠，以喻菩薩遠在他方恒住此故，雖在此處常在彼故，安有遠近之異相耶？一切遠近，皆類此知。

Regarding the commentary's "Not knowing that this reflection has no far or near": this explains the sūtra's phrase "The reflection does not follow objects in having far or near." It is like holding a mirror before a pool: when the moon appears in the pool, this reflection is not near the moon in the sky. Forty-two thousand yojanas from the earth, the reflection falls into the pool and yet is not far away either. This serves as an analogy for the bodhisattva, who, though distant in another realm, constantly abides here; though in this place, he is constantly there. How could there be different characteristics of far and near? All far and near can be understood by analogy with this.
