大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 52.52

52.52

Regarding the commentary's statement "Illuminating the two selflessnesses and realizing suchness is named prajñā," illuminating principle is the fundamental cognition, while illuminating phenomena is the subsequently attained cognition. Because these two pervade the ten stages, they can eradicate view-delusions. The realization cognition restricted to the initial stage refers to discriminative latencies, while the term avidyā pervades the ten stages. In each stage, the two kinds of ignorance are severed, because cognitive obscurations are abandoned. Also, the two cognitions above are distinctively correlated with the two delusions: prajñā eradicates view-delusions, and jñāna cuts off avidyā.
