大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 48.22

48.22

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Some say that the retribution pure land takes the seeds of the four dusts as its primary cause": this identifies the essence of the two causes. The seeds of the four dusts are entirely within consciousness; that is, they are the seeds of the objective division within the eight consciousnesses. As for the statement "or taking the self-benefiting subsequent [wisdom]": above it was stated that the ten thousand practices of the six pāramitās pertain to both benefits. Here, relying on the distinctive meaning of Consciousness-Only, subsequent wisdom that benefits others is the condition for the lands of other-enjoyment and transformation, and therefore subsequent wisdom that benefits oneself is used as the condition for the land of self-enjoyment. Below, the commentary says "Relying on the tenet of this sūtra": this directly differs from the previous text that took only self-benefit as the condition for self-enjoyment; therefore, practices of both benefits together grasp the land of other-enjoyment. From "Because they are all..." onward, it provides the reason for their mutual interchangeability, hence pointing to the "World Chapter." It is also clarified in the Xianshou chapter of the "Chapter on Inquiries and Clarifications." The rest can be deduced accordingly.
