大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 80.56

80.56

Regarding the commentary's "From this we know that its wheel is fundamentally always pure," this implicitly cites the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, where Ratnakūṭa says: "The Dharma wheel was turned thrice in the trichiliocosm, / and that wheel is fundamentally always pure." This phrase has been variously explained since ancient times; now, we take the principle of the intrinsically pure true nature directly within phenomena as the essence of the Dharma wheel. Therefore, the latter four sections, in clarifying the depth and breadth of characteristics and functions, are completely different from other lineages. In order not to destroy the characteristics, other explanations are briefly cited.
