大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 74.24

74.24

From the commentary's "Only the cessation of phenomena" onward: second, discriminating that their functions are unequal. First it clarifies that in the cessation of phenomena, since the sixth and seventh [consciousnesses] do not operate, how could they give rise to function? Afterward, from "Realizing the cessation of principle" onward, it distinguishes that the merit of the cessation of principle is superior: because phenomena are directly principle, samādhi and distraction are unimpeded.
