大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 71.25

71.25

Regarding the commentary's phrase "Below, the three realms...": in clarifying by what they pursue and adhere, except for the fourth line which manifests that the essence of latent defilements is unreal, the remaining five also clarify pursuing and adhering based on the previous loci, though the text does not follow their order. The first clarifies pursuing and adhering based on the previous second [heading], clarifying the locus in terms of the realms. "Unceasing" is precisely the characteristic of pursuing and adhering. The second discerns pursuing and adhering based on the previous fourth [heading], clarifying the locus in terms of time. This is the sūtra's phrase "the characteristic of causing boundless minds to continually arise in succession," while the treatise's sūtra text says "the characteristic of beginningless continual accumulation." The commentary reconciles both "beginningless" and "boundless"; yet the continual succession is precisely the characteristic of pursuing and adhering. "Third, opening the gates of the āyatanas" discerns pursuing and adhering based on the first [heading], clarifying the locus in terms of mind. "Accumulating and giving rise to the six consciousnesses" is precisely the characteristic of pursuing and adhering. The rest is as in the commentary text. But in saying "the present sūtra's meaning contains [it]," it is because among the āyatanas, the mind-āyatana (manāyatana) subsumes the ālayavijñāna. Regarding the commentary's phrase "firm and solid..." onward: it manifests that the essence of latent defilements is unreal, and does not rely on the previous locus. Regarding "unreal and firm": the sūtra says "firm and hard to cure," and the treatise says "unreal pursuing and adhering." That which is unreal is precisely the latent defilements pursuing and adhering up to dhyāna, and so on; therefore it is "firm," meaning that being unreal and hard to cure is the characteristic of pursuing and adhering.
