大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.75

35.75

On the commentary's "The first verse is all shared activity": In the Yogācāra[-bhūmi], shared activity does not present distinct characteristics, but is merely named shared activity by being the same as the beneficial action above; therefore, beneficial action comes first. Thus, showing oneself as the same in gain, decline, and so on constitutes 'all'—'and so on' encompasses ruin, praise, eulogy, ridicule, suffering, and pleasure. Regarding "sharing activity while enduring all sufferings": difficult practices are threefold, also having no distinct characteristics, but are shared activity of the three difficult practices by being the same as the three beneficial actions: namely, 1. Beneficial action practiced toward sentient beings who have not yet practiced the causes of superior roots of goodness; 2. Beneficial action practiced toward sentient beings who are presently attached to vast wealth, status, and complete requisites; 3. Beneficial action practiced toward non-Buddhists with divergent attachments, wrong views, and wrong practices. Shared activity follows this pattern. Now, in the above three kinds of shared activity, one must endure suffering in all.
