大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 64.29

64.29

On the commentary passage "Fourth, discriminating in terms of cultivation": this designates arising in terms of being raw or ripe. Being raw and unpracticed is called arising; being fully ripened is called non-arising. On the seventh bhūmi there is still effort; hence it is called raw and unpracticed. On the eighth bhūmi one advances spontaneously without effort; hence it is called fully ripened.
