大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 4.26

4.26

As for the commentary's stating, "Extensively revealing their characteristics as analyzed in the Eighth Stage and the 'Chapter on Transcending the World,'" this refers to the Eighth Stage, which clarifies that the former ten bodies each have ten characteristics, and the twentieth body is precisely the ten characteristics of the seventh, the Tathāgata-body, within the former ten. It also clarifies that the former ten bodies mutually create one another, meaning that in accordance with the inclinations of sentient beings' minds, they can use the sentient being body to make their own body, realm body, karmic retribution body, śrāvaka body, pratyekabuddha body, bodhisattva body, Tathāgata body, wisdom body, dharmakāya, and space body, as cited above under the traces of teaching. Both these and the explanation of each characteristic are found below in the text. As for the "Chapter on Transcending the World": in fascicle fifty-three there are ten Buddhas, which are precisely the aforementioned twentieth body, with slight differences in names. It also harmonises and explains: "The so-called ten Buddhas are: the Buddha of Right Awakening, the Buddha of Vows, the Buddha of Karmic Retribution, the Buddha of Maintenance, the Buddha of Nirvāṇa, the Buddha of the Dharmadhātu, the Buddha of Mind, the Buddha of Samādhi, the Buddha of Original Nature, and the Buddha of Accordance with Inclinations." In fascicle fifty-eight, it further clarifies ten ways of seeing the Buddha, which are seeing the aforementioned ten Buddhas; the text says: "Namely, seeing the Buddha of Right Awakening abiding in the world without attachment; seeing the Buddha of Vows as arising; seeing the Buddha of Karmic Retribution with deep faith; seeing the Buddha of Maintenance through accordant compliance; seeing the Buddha of Nirvāṇa through profound entry; seeing the Buddha of the Dharmadhātu as universally reaching; seeing the Buddha of Mind as peaceful abiding; seeing the Buddha of Samādhi as immeasurable and without reliance; seeing the Buddha of Original Nature with clear comprehension; seeing the Buddha of Accordance with Inclinations through universal reception." However, non-attachment and the rest further have ten meanings, which will all be clarified below.
