大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 44.11

44.11

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Seventh, the general conclusion can be understood": that also resolves a doubt. Namely, there is a doubt that says: "Since sentient beings are like this, why does the bodhisattva preach the Dharma to match their capacities?" Therefore, this explanation states: "The Dharma preached is like the bhūtakoṭi, because this speech is constantly identical to the bhūtakoṭi." Now, the commentary takes the first as general, and therefore takes the latter bhūtakoṭi as the general conclusion; hence it is described as "slightly adding and altering." The remaining meanings are mostly the same, with only minor differences in taking the intended meaning.
