大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 67.46

67.46

The commentary states: 'Therefore, the true nature of defilement and purity are both without beginning or end': this concludes, demonstrates, and resolves the objection. Defilement and purity are the above conventional truth; both rely on non-abiding, and thus are without beginning or end. Saying 'relying on non-abiding' does not mean arising turn by turn in reliance on non-abiding. Since non-abiding is another name for real mark, no single dharma is not identical with the true nature of the real mark; this is the aforementioned statement in terms of ultimate truth that the principle is without beginning or end. From 'Revealing that defilement can be eliminated' downward, it resolves the objection. The objection says: Why does it only say beginningless? Hence this resolution is made.
