大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 34.55

34.55

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "However, there are three meanings," it properly explains the fourth line's words "yet in truth there is nothing entered"; taking up the third line to explain it as well, both contain the words "realising and entering". As for the differences among these three: the first is spoken in terms of principle vis-à-vis awakening. The second is spoken in terms of principle vis-à-vis phenomena: that is, sentient beings are phenomena, and they are not identical with principle, hence there is the word "entry"; yet they are not different from principle, hence there is "nothing entered". The third is spoken precisely in terms of the accord between mind and object: that is, when directly fusing with the object, one does not conceive the notion of entry.
