大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 59.22

59.22

Third, the evaluation of the fruits. Regarding the commentary's statement, "Third, explaining the scope," and so forth: the commentary's text has four parts. First, it generally indicates the scope, which is the distinction between cultivation and non-cultivation, taking cultivation and retribution as their respective scopes. Second, from "Cultivation of practice resides only in..." onward, it discusses their scope in relation to the beginning and end of the stage itself, which is based on whether the above two meanings are pervasive or non-pervasive. Third, from "Moreover, the first two and the last one..." onward, it discusses the scope in terms of presence and absence. Fourth, from "Moreover, the first two fruits..." onward, it discusses the scope in terms of dharma and fruit. The intention here is specifically to resolve a difficulty on behalf of the treatise master: Master Anguo, seeing that there was a concluding text after the two fruits, maintained that the first two fruits were solely dharmas of the stage and only the latter two were fruit dharmas, which are the emerging minds. Therefore, it is resolved here that the first two apply both to dharmas and to fruits; as dharmas they are easy to see because of the concluding text that follows, but as fruits they are difficult to see, and therefore the treatise determined that they belong to the fruits. From "failing to understand this intention" onward, it concludes by criticizing Anguo.
