大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 23.44

23.44

On the commentary’s "Or ten are spoken of, as in the 'Ten Superknowledges' chapter": first, the superknowledge of the cognition of others' minds; second, the superknowledge of the cognition of the divine eye; third, the superknowledge of the cognition of recollecting past lives across past kalpas; fourth, the superknowledge of the cognition exhausting the kalpas of future limits; fifth, the superknowledge of the cognition of the unobstructed, pure divine ear; sixth, the superknowledge of the cognition of going to all Buddha lands without substantial nature and without movement; seventh, the superknowledge of the cognition of distinguishing all words and expressions; eighth, the superknowledge of the cognition of countless physical forms; ninth, the superknowledge of the cognition of all dharmas; tenth, the superknowledge of the cognition of entering all samādhis of cessation—broadly as in the sūtra text. On the commentary's "The 'Inconceivable' chapter states that all Buddhas possess boundless unobstructed liberation, manifesting immeasurable great powers of superknowledge": this cites the sense of the sūtra text. The single phrase "unobstructed liberation" references the sūtra, while "manifesting immeasurable great powers of superknowledge" reveals that this liberation is liberation through superknowledge. Like the inconceivable liberation in the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, which can place Mount Sumeru into a mustard seed and the like. Thus the sūtra states: "What are the ten? Namely, all Buddhas are capable, within a single dust mote, of manifesting the appearance in the world of ineffable and ineffable Buddhas; second, turning the pure wheel of Dharma; third, sentient beings receiving transformation and being subdued; fourth, Buddha lands; fifth, bodhisattvas receiving prophecies." The above five all contain the words "All Buddhas are capable, within a single dust mote, of manifesting ineffable and ineffable," exactly as in the first clause. The lower five clauses simply lack the words "ineffable and ineffable"; the rest are the same as above, namely: "sixth, manifesting all Buddhas of the past, future, and present; seventh, manifesting all seeds of world realms of the past, future, and present; eighth, manifesting all superknowledges of the past, future, and present; ninth, manifesting all sentient beings of the past, future, and present; tenth, manifesting all Buddha deeds of the past, future, and present." Explanation: Since all are manifested simultaneously in a single dust mote, this clearly shows that it is a great power of superknowledge.
