大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 67.17

67.17

Where the commentary says, 'Having already understood...' below, this is the third part, explaining the sūtra text. Where the commentary says, 'Only in this way is it called seeing that past causes can prevent the three faults,' this is also warding off a difficulty. For there might be an objection saying: 'The sūtra merely says that the two are in the past; why does the treatise master reciprocally subordinate them?' Therefore it now answers: One must know that past causes can incur present fruitions, and present fruitions must be produced from past causes. Only then can one guard against faults such as [the doctrine of] past deeds, as will be explained below.
