大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.62

35.62

On the commentary's "Cause and effect are unhindered...": Resolving a hidden objection. There is an objection that says: If the initial is already the subsequent, it should destroy cause and effect. Therefore, this resolution is made to clarify their lack of hindrance. Exactly when it is in the cause, there is already the effect; within the effect, there is the cause. According to different approaches, they are named cause and named effect; in essence there is no before and after, so perfect interfusion is attained. When both are preserved, it is both cause and effect; when both are obliterated, the ocean of the fruit transcends speech.
