大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.5

35.5

The Commentary's "being able to stay free from the five kinds of wrong livelihood" comes from Fascicle 22 of the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa. Its fifth is proclaiming one's acquired offerings to stir people's hearts; the first four are entirely identical. The Commentary's "in the Yogācāra[-bhūmi] it is called guarding the sense-doors well" is from Fascicle 23. The treatise says: "What is the restraint of the sense faculties? It means, for instance, that there is one who is able to abide well in secretly guarding the sense-doors and protecting right mindfulness..." up to the extensive explanation: "What is called secretly guarding the sense-doors? It refers to protecting right mindfulness, constantly and carefully attending to right mindfulness, up to guarding the mental faculty, and properly practicing the restraint of the mental faculty," etc. The Commentary's "The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa says: The form that is seen..." etc., is from the chapter on Kāśyapa, directing Kāśyapa to enter the village with the perception of an empty village: forms seen are equal to the blind, sounds heard are equal to an echo, odors smelled are equal to the wind, flavors tasted are not discriminated, sensations touched are received as wisdom verifies them, and all dharmas are known to be like illusory appearances, lacking own-nature and lacking other-nature, originally not blazing and now without cessation, and so forth. Therefore, when the senses are guarded and concealed, one does not violate sense-realms, becoming kings of the six masteries; how could one be plundered by the six thieves?
