大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 49.8

49.8

Regarding the commentary's "the hundred meritorious practices in the fifty-third fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi": This is in the Decision Section (Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī), where the textual marks are very clear. However, regarding the fractional [observance], the Sautrāntika allows taking the precepts partially, either more or completely, due to the inferior, middling, and superior differences in their faculties and nature, as well as holding them for a long time or a short time, and so forth. A short time is from one day to ten days; a long time is from one year to ten years; lifelong can be understood. However, the ten kinds are divided into four categories: the first thirty are distinguished based on matters; the next thirty are distinguished according to time; the next twenty are clarified in terms of oneself and others; and the final twenty are established based on praising and explaining. Directly in terms of the time of practice, they are called the hundred practices; in terms of the merit produced, they are the hundred merits. If considered in terms of the ten unwholesome actions, they are called the hundred faults, meaning fractional killing and so forth.
