大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 30.5

30.5

Section three. Regarding the commentary's phrase, 'The non-obstruction of nature and characteristics is true penetration': the commentary's explanation of 'unobstructed penetration' has two meanings: first, the dharma that is penetrated has nature and characteristics unobstructed; second, the wisdom that understands is free from the two obstructions. The two obstructions are precisely the two hindrances: understanding characteristics, there is no hindrance of knowables; understanding nature, there is no hindrance of afflictions. Therefore the next line states, 'Free from attachment to the two obstructions, the basis is transformed and the mind is pure', which means that one transforms the basis of impermanence and defilement, relying solely on the permanent dharmakāya by means of merit; hence it says, 'the mind is pure, free from all attachments.' Penetration is wisdom, non-obstruction is eradication, and regulating sentient beings is grace; hence it says, 'endowed with the three virtues'.
