大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 31.28

31.28

Regarding the Commentary's statement starting with "Master Zhao": this is fourth, citing another text for corroboration, namely the *Treatise on the Immutability of Things* (*Wubuqian lun*). Now, in succession there are four lines in total; the treatise states: "Since there is not even a subtle sign of going and returning, what thing could there be that can move? Thus, a whirling whirlwind fells mountains yet is constantly calm; rivers race and pour forth yet do not flow; wild horses of heat-shimmer billow and heave yet do not stir; the sun and moon traverse the sky yet do not orbit. What, then, is strange about this?" In the present four analogies, it only uses water and wind; that treatise lacks fire and earth.
