大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.34

19.34

Regarding the commentary from "If all are of a single flavor" onward, this is the second part, resolving the objection. Within it, first comes a question, and then from "Ancient masters" onward comes the answer. In the answer, there are two parts: first, citing the past answer; second, setting forth the present intention. Within this, there are three: First, the direct explanation: because the characteristics of wisdom are exhausted, it is not existent, thereby sharing the single flavor of tathatā. Because it can cause the characteristics of wisdom to be exhausted, it is not non-existent, meaning wisdom possesses the function of reflecting back upon the emptiness of wisdom; not grasping onto wisdom is true wisdom, hence it is not that there is no wisdom. Second, from "Otherwise" onward is the converse explanation, conversely establishing the meaning of not being existent as a single flavor. Third, from "Therefore, with respect to the objective realm, it does not obstruct the true while constantly being conventional" onward, it concludes the formulation. Within this there are two points: first, contrasting quiescence and illumination with the two realms of the true and conventional to analyze their being neither one nor different; second, from "The realm is emptiness and existence" onward, concluding the non-differentiation.
