大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 75.18

75.18

In the commentary, from "second, in terms of perfect interfusion" below, the commentary's text itself has three meanings: first is the meaning of the non-obstruction of principle and phenomena. Second, the two approaches below "using principle to fuse phenomena" are the meaning of the non-obstruction between phenomena and phenomena; the former approach is the gate of the interpenetration of dharmatā, and the third is the gate of the mutual conditionality of dependent origination. Within the third gate, the commentary's text divides into two: first, presenting one approach; next, "mutual identity." From "since it is so" below, it generalizes to the other approaches. Therein are three: first, using identity to generalize to entry; second, from "since different entities are so" below, using the different to generalize to the identical; third, from "one gate" below, using one gate to generalize to all gates. Just as the gate of the mutual conditionality of dependent origination is so, the gate of the lack of fixed nature, the gate of appearance from mind alone, and so forth, are also like this. Furthermore, just as mutual identity and entry are so, the gate of the subtle and minute mutually containing and establishing, and so forth, are also like this.
