大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 74.35

74.35

On the passage in the Commentary beginning with "However, that treatise lacks space": second, comparing and discerning between the sūtra and the treatise. Looking at the treatise in relation to the sūtra, there are roughly four differences, and the Commentary has three clauses: first, explaining presence and absence; second, "while 'shadow' refers to a mirror image", which reveals differences in terminology; third, beginning with "Moreover, there is that which obscures the archetype", distinguishing their separation and combination. Within this there are two: first, discerning the reason why the treatise separates them, which is because their meanings differ; second, beginning with "Now the sūtra, based on meaning", clarifying the reason why the sūtra combines them, which is because their types are the same. There is another meaning: to complete the count of ten. Because three dharmas were added, these three were combined, as will be explained below. However, if it were solely to complete ten, why not combine them into other similes? Therefore, the Commentary only demonstrates the meaning of being of the same type. When it says, "It should be known below", it refers to extensively dividing their aspects under the simile of the shadow. The fourth is that the order of the sūtra and the treatise has a reversal; because the sūtra corresponds to the preceding three dharmas, its sequence is not the same as the treatise. The explanation below sets this out in full; because it is easy, it is omitted here.
