大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 64.25

64.25

On the commentary passage beginning with "If in terms of realizing reality": this corresponds to anutpattikadharmakṣānti; raising the first subsumes the subsequent ones, so the meaning covers the eighth and ninth [bhūmis]. As for saying "realizing reality and looking back": the above two meanings only refute the intrinsic nature and characteristics of emptiness; now, having already realized reality, looking back upon intrinsic nature and characteristics, they are originally ever quiescent—why wait until refuting is complete to then speak of selflessness and the equality of emptiness? As for saying "this principle becomes increasingly profound": then in the above equality of emptiness it should also have been said that this meaning gradually becomes deeper, but the text omitted it.
