大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 18.40

18.40

On the commentary's "the equality-nature cognition realizes the equality-nature": the treatise states, "This mental associate contemplates all phenomena, oneself and other sentient beings, as entirely equal, is constantly associated with great loving-kindness and compassion and so on, and according to what various sentient beings delight in, manifests the distinct reflection-images of enjoyment bodies and lands." Since it says that oneself and other sentient beings are entirely equal, this is precisely equality in the object contemplated; hence it says, "realizes the equality-nature."
