大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 2.32

2.32

In the Commentary, "'Adornment' means decorating the Dharma and perfecting the person": "adornment" also has two meanings. First, using the myriad practices to decorate its fundamental essence—that is, adorning the "Great, Standard, and Broad" above. This is like polishing a bright mirror: although the mirror is originally pure, without polishing it is not bright. Second, using the meritorious virtues of the myriad practices to perfect the person of the Buddha-fruit, like carving jade into a vessel. Furthermore, decorating the fundamental essence is like casting gold into an image; perfecting the person through practice is like a skillful artisan fashioning an image.
