大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 63.19

63.19

Regarding the commentary's phrase "the basis is all views of self" and so on: the commentary's text has three parts: 1. explaining the sūtra. Here the grasping of the two selves in self-exaltation is spoken of as the conceit of self, not the conceit of the Dharma of samādhi. 2. From "yet it says" onward, explaining the word "basis" in the treatise. 3. From "the view of self here" onward, identifying the essence of what is abandoned. Within this there are two points: first, speaking in terms of the actual stages, fully citing Vijñaptimātratā as already seen on the first ground. Second, in terms of the ascribed stages: since it is the first fruit [of the śrāvaka], on the first fruit one initially severs views.
