大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 22.46

22.46

Regarding the Commentary's statement "it is called the gate of equality because of the ten minds of equality": in the thirty-sixth [fascicle of the] sūtra, entering the fifth bhūmi involves ten minds: first, an equanimous and pure mind regarding the past Buddha-dharmas; second, regarding future ones; third, regarding present ones; fourth, regarding precepts; fifth, regarding mind; sixth, regarding the elimination of views, doubt, and remorse; seventh, regarding knowledge of path and non-path; eighth, regarding the knowledge and vision of practice; ninth, regarding supreme observation of all bodhipakṣikadharmas; and tenth, regarding transforming and guiding all sentient beings—all containing the phrasing "equanimous and pure mind." Regarding the Commentary's statement "observing real phenomena and conventional spheres": precisely because of the ten-layered observation of the four noble truths, one transcends the world on the fourth bhūmi; on the fifth bhūmi one re-enters, which is called observing the conventional sphere.
