大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 63.14

63.14

Regarding the commentary's phrase "if according to this sūtra" and so on: the seventh reveals the provisional and the real. Because what was explained above all relies on ascribed stages, he therefore shows the real meaning of this sūtra. The present text cites it briefly; in full it says: "To cultivate the eightfold noble path in accordance with bodhi is the bodhisattva path. That is: right view, because it departs from all wrong views. Arising right thought, discarding false discriminations, because the mind constantly accords with omniscience. Constantly practicing right speech, departing from the four faults of speech, because it accords with noble speech. Constantly cultivating right action, teaching and transforming sentient beings to cause them to be subdued. Abiding peacefully in right livelihood, with dhūta practices and contentment, deportment being attentive and upright, practicing the four noble lineages in accordance with bodhi, because all faults are permanently eliminated. Arising right effort, diligently cultivating all bodhisattva austerities, because one enters the Buddha's ten powers without obstruction. Mind constantly in right mindfulness, able to remember and retain all sounds and words, because one eliminates the world's distracted mind. Mind constantly in right samādhi, adeptly entering the bodhisattva's inconceivable gate of liberation, because within a single samādhi one gives birth to all samādhis." Explanation: based on this textual evidence, is it not profoundly mysterious?
