大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 8.22

8.22

疏「又豈不誤」下，縱其有化，化翻成損。言「豈不誤一類怯弱」等者，謂一類人厭生死苦，又聞佛道長遠，心生怯弱，常欲且趣寂滅界中。若知一滅永沈，彼則不敢趣寂。今見變化之者從滅得起，此怯弱人便謂有真趣滅得起，便即趣滅，希後得起。汝宗一滅決定不起，便成誤彼令其永沈，故云爾也。

The Commentary states: "Moreover, would it not mislead..." and below; granting that there is transformation, the transformation on the contrary causes harm. The phrase "would it not mislead a class of timid and weak [practitioners]" means that a class of people detests the suffering of birth and death, and hearing that the Buddha path is long and distant, fear arises in their minds, and they always wish to take temporary refuge in the realm of quiescent extinction. If they knew that once extinguished they would remain forever submerged, they would not dare to enter quiescence. Now, seeing transformed beings arise from extinction, these timid people would believe that real enterers of extinction can arise; thus they enter extinction, hoping to arise later. In your tradition, once extinguished they definitely never arise, which ends up misleading them into eternal submersion; hence it is stated as such.
