大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 44.37

44.37

Regarding the commentary's "The seventh [set of] four verses restates the practice of non-attachment": The first verse corresponds, among the two upāyas, to the skillfulness in pariṇāmanā, and among the three upāyas, to advancing toward the fruit, because having obtained consecration is advancing toward the fruit. The next two verses correspond to the skillfulness in rescuing and delivering. The next half-verse corresponds to skillfully harmonizing existence and non-existence: skillfully entering into words is harmonizing with existence, while not discriminating is harmonizing with non-existence. The latter half corresponds to neither relinquishing nor grasping any dharma. If matched to the sūtra text: The first verse restates purifying the bodhisattva path and receiving the bodhisattva prediction without attachment. The next verse restates compassionate mindfulness toward sentient beings. The last two verses restate the preceding maturation of sentient beings in all worlds: the former was in terms of the various voices and so forth of those being transformed, while this is in terms of the single voice of the transformer adapting to each kind. The former caused those being transformed not to attach, whereas this is the transformer not attaching.
