大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 30.23

30.23

Section Five. Regarding the commentary's "Next are four practices of cultivating cognition to aspire upward": the commentary's explanation has two senses. The former sense takes each as an individual single practice; the latter sense takes them as universally cultivating all practices. Although the text is restricted to one, the meaning applies to both. As in cultivating for a long time: that is, long-term faith, long-term aspiration, long-term mindfulness, and long-term learning; the same applies to the lower three. If considered in terms of what is trusted, mindfulness and the others are all the Buddha's merits.
