大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 53.3

53.3

Regarding the commentary's "This explanation of words" downward: the third gate, revealing its established intention. It first cites the treatise. From "this reveals" downward is the commentary's explanation, which is the intention of Xianshou. It is to reveal the dharmadhātu conditioned arising of the One Vehicle Perfect Teaching: inexhaustible perfect interfusion, unimpeded mutual identity, unobstructed containment and integration, up to the boundless principle and phenomena of Indra's net, and so on. When this meaning manifests, one severance is all severance, one realization is all realization, up to being fully endowed with Samantabhadra's perfect cause and the realm of the ten Buddhas. "This explanation of words" explains according to the path of teaching; afterward, from "do not on account of" downward, it explains the words removing concrete things. The treatise merely says: meaning the aggregates (skandha), realms (dhātu), bases (āyatana), and so forth; now the commentary adds the words "grasping and attachment" to explain the treatise's intention. The intention is not to let people grasp and cling according to concrete things, not that the essence of the aggregates and realms does not possess the six characteristics. Therefore Master Yuan says: "Just as the form among the aggregates and so forth is not feeling, perception, up to not consciousness. All such as this, because its particular characteristics lack the universal characteristic, one cannot oppose particular to universal and speak of formation and disintegration, hence they are said to be incomplete. If one considers their essential nature, each individual aggregate and so forth completely possesses the six characteristics, as explained above in the general treatment of all dharmas."
