大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 78.50

78.50

疏「初通顯二品義名」下，疏文有二：先約平等釋、後約出現釋。前中亦二：先約同歸一理所以平等。「依性起修」約因，「起用」約果，「相盡」同真，所以平等。後「又因是果因」下，約二事交徹，故云平等。以是得果不捨之因，故云「因是果因」；依果起果之果，故云「果是果果」。如空法界，二文影略。

Regarding the Commentary's statement from "First, generally revealing the meaning and names of the two chapters..." downward, the text of the Commentary has two parts: first, explaining in terms of uniformity; second, explaining in terms of manifestation. In the former there are also two parts: first, explaining why it is uniform in terms of commonly returning to a single principle. "Relying on the nature to give rise to cultivation" pertains to the cause; "giving rise to function" pertains to the fruit; "the exhaustion of characteristics" is identical to the real; hence they are uniform. Second, from "Furthermore, the cause is the cause of the fruit..." downward, explaining in terms of the mutual interpenetration of the two matters; hence it is called uniform. Because it is the cause of not abandoning upon attaining the fruit, it is said that "the cause is the cause of the fruit"; because it is the fruit of giving rise to fruit relying on the fruit, it is said that "the fruit is the fruit of the fruit." Like the empty dharmadhātu, the two texts mutually reflect and abbreviate.
