大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 22.9

22.9

As for the commentary's statement that "Bodhi is originally existent and now non-existent for sentient beings," this also refers to bodhi that is pure by nature being originally existent; but because it is currently obscured by adventitious defilements, they are deluded about the real and give rise to the false, having not yet realized or attained perfectly pure bodhi; therefore it is said to be "now non-existent." The statement that "for the Buddhas, it is originally non-existent and now existent" refers to perfectly pure bodhi: because it was not cultivated to completion in the past, it is said to be "originally non-existent"; because it has now been cultivated and attained, it is said to be "now existent." The above has already explained the first half of that verse.
