大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 4.17

4.17

Regarding the commentary's phrase "Furthermore, the ten locations above" and below, the sixth section universally harmonizes the ten meanings. Within this, there are three parts: first, directly revealing the harmonious integration of the ten meanings; next, from "Yet in accordance with" down, revealing location in relation to time; finally, from "This is still stated in terms of" down, the third advances to reveal profound depth. This means that the ten levels above pertain only to the vessel world; they have not yet described how within the pores of the Buddha and the pores of sentient beings, each and every one is multi-layered and inexhaustible. Concerning "Samantabhadra and sentient beings are each and every one like this": in relation to the Tathāgata, Samantabhadra is also called the sentient-being world; in relation to sentient beings, he is also called the world of enlightened cognition. Furthermore, bringing up Samantabhadra subsumes all bodhisattvas.
