大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 69.24

69.24

Regarding the commentary's "Fourth, non-conceptual..." and below: the text of the commentary has two parts: first, directly explaining; later, summarizing. Now for the first: it cites the treatise to directly verify entering the same place as the Buddha, because the treatise on the sūtra states: "Tathatā is non-conceptual, entering the cognition of all cognitions." Therefore, the present commentary uses the Buddha's cognition to explain it. If taken directly according to the present text, it is merely the non-conceptual cognition proper to the eighth stage; only with the true non-conceptual cognition can one enter—it is not that conventional cognition can enter the unarisen.
