大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 58.15

58.15

In the commentary, 'pure understanding means having faith in cause and effect': the cause is the word 'understanding'; resolve has decisive verification regarding an object as its nature, and having an unwavering state as its activity; this is the meaning of 'deeply confirmed' in the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi-śāstra. Purity is the result; if conforming to the Vijñaptimātratā, joy and desire are the result. Now, looking toward the cause above, purity of mind is the result. In the commentary, 'first, the greatness of gathering merit' and so forth: these three greatnesses below are two of the six determinations at the beginning of the first bhūmi. The first is the meaning within the determination of superior goodness, saying that it is superior among all other roots of goodness. The intent is to take 'superior' and so forth, not to take 'determination'. The second and third are the determination of the causal goodness, opened into two.
