大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 40.5

40.5

As for the commentary's statement, 'First, purifying karma reveals principle': because when karma is purified, the principle is revealed. 'Second, removing delusion unfolds faith': because if there are no false thoughts, faith and understanding increase. The rest can be understood. As for the commentary's statement, 'The eight awakenings of great people': the Sutra of the Buddha's Bequeathed Teaching explains: (1) having few desires, (2) knowing contentment, (3) quietude, (4) vigorous effort, (5) right mindfulness, (6) right samādhi, (7) right wisdom, and (8) non-prapañca. Fascicle 27 of the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] adds two to make ten, saying: 'Good son! If a bodhisattva accomplishes ten dharmas, although he sees the Buddha-dharma, he does not obtain clear understanding.' The first seven are the same as above; the eighth is liberation, the ninth is praising liberation, and the tenth is transforming other sentient beings through nirvāṇa. This will be explained in greater detail in the notes on the Ten Grounds.
