大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 18.41

18.41

On the commentary's "the wondrous contemplation cognition contemplates equality": the treatise states, "This mental associate is skilled at contemplating the specific characteristics and common characteristics of all phenomena, operating without obstruction; it encompasses and contemplates limitless dhāraṇīs and gates of concentration, as well as the treasures of virtue generated [thereby]; it is able to manifest limitless distinctions of functioning, all attaining mastery; it rains down the rain of the great Dharma, cuts off all doubts, and causes all sentient beings to obtain benefit and joy." Since it says that it is skilled at contemplating the specific characteristics and common characteristics of all phenomena, operating without obstruction, this clarifies that equality can pervasively contemplate all phenomena; hence it says, "contemplates equality."
