大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 74.13

74.13

As for the commentary's "If according to the ekayāna" and below, this is the second part, answering according to the true reality of the ekayāna. Within this there are four: First, directly clarifying the real meaning. Second, from "However, it is not the present of the present" onward, resolving an objection. That is, someone asks: "If so, why is it called seeing the future?" The intent of the answer is understandable. Third, from "If this existence is" onward, establishing the principle and challenging again: Conceding that it exists essentially or exists through conditions, both have faults. Fourth, from "If looking from the present time" onward, harmonising through principle: that is, not looking at the future toward the present time. If looking at the future toward the present time, this future is just the present; how could the future exist? If pursuing downward toward the future to look at the future, the future is the present of the future, hence different from the present.
