大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 52.19

52.19

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Ninth, in terms of provisionally lodging the vehicles," the first bhūmi clarifies giving and furthermore manifests human kingship, which is the human vehicle. The second bhūmi's ten wholesome deeds lead to birth in heaven, which is the desire heaven vehicle. The third bhūmi's eight concentrations are the form and formless heaven vehicles. Therefore, the first three are taken as the human and heavenly vehicles. The fourth bhūmi initially severs innate view of self and contemplates the bodhipākṣika-dharmas, corresponding to the srotāpanna. The fifth bhūmi culminates in the principle of the four noble truths, provisionally lodging the arhat. The sixth bhūmi contemplates conditions, provisionally lodging the pratyekabuddha. The seventh bhūmi uses upāya to engage with existence regarding all factors of bodhi, and therefore provisionally lodges the bodhisattva of the Mahāyāna among the three vehicles. From the eighth bhūmi upward, since it is the One Vehicle, it is not said to be provisionally lodged.
