大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 70.22

70.22

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Third, based on the ripening of faculties..." downward: the five gates of benefiting others. Regarding "ripening of faculties": practice according to the Āgamas is accomplished, one is capable of entering realization, and cultivating without conceptual thought can benefit sentient beings. Fourth, not contemplating the nature of wisdom is entirely wrong thought. Fifth, causing what is not yet known to be known. Sixth, "heterodox refuge" refers to various outsiders who place trust through eyes and ears; hence one transforms them through supernormal powers. Seventh, the pure lands of all Buddhas transcend all the heavens because there is no regression. Below "the above five," it concludes the above, because benefiting others is finished. The remaining three are easy to understand.
