大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 3.47

3.47

Regarding the Commentary's 'Due to the above ten meanings, this teaching arose' below: third, this concludes by assigning them and synthesizing the explanation. The part above concludes by assigning them, and what follows synthesizes and explains the sūtra text. That sūtra says in full: 'Those expounding the Dharma were all named Dharmamati; all by the power of the Buddha's spiritual penetrations, by the power of the World-Honoured One's fundamental vows, in order to display the Buddha-Dharma, in order to shine universally with the light of wisdom, in order to disclose and elucidate the profound meaning, in order to cause the realization of the dharmatā, in order to cause the entire assembly to rejoice, in order to disclose and demonstrate the causes of the Buddha-Dharma, in order to attain the equality of all Buddhas, and in order to comprehend that the dharmadhātu is not two, they expounded such Dharmas as this.' Out of ten causes, it mentions two, which is why it says 'and so on.' As for the Commentary's 'causes and conditions intermingle': the spiritual power is a condition, while the rest are all causes, which is why it says 'intermingle.' Now, by briefly mentioning two, both cause and condition are present, matching the Commentary to that [sūtra]. Cause and condition are easily understood; hence it says 'this can be grasped conceptually.'
