大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 43.74

43.74

In the commentary, from “If universally contemplating” downward, it shows the virtues of the completely interfused three contemplations. Therein, there are first two lines directed upward to establish the error of sequence, clarifying that the sequential three contemplations have the fault of oneness and difference. Second, the first two lines are explained in reverse, doubly negating the three and the one. From “Therefore, identical to the one, yet three” downward, the double interfusion fully possesses four lines, all interfused: “identical to the one, yet three” is one line; “identical to the three, yet one” is the second line; the double negation of three and one is the line of double negation: because identical to the one yet three, it is not three; because identical to the three yet one, it is not one. Fourth, although it is of one single essence, the three functions are distinctly evident; although there are three functions, the one essence is not two. Therefore, it doubly illuminates the three and the one: identity with negation is illumination, and identity with illumination is negation; thus it is completely interfused. From “In the objective realm” downward, it concludes by establishing the truths and contemplations.
