大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 80.66

80.66

In the commentary, "tranquil, serene, silent, and even": *tian* means peaceful and harmonious, *pa* means quiet, and *yi* means even. This is also from the text in "Establishing the Doctrine." It says there: "Thus, existence and non-existence are cut off within, and appellations vanish without; it is unreached by seeing and hearing, and obscured to the four formless realms; tranquil and even, serene and exalted, here the nine currents converge, and here all sages mysteriously unite. This is indeed the realm of the silent and imperceptible, the region of the Great Mystery. Yet to wish to label its boundaries with existence and non-existence, and to speak of its divine path—is that not vastly off the mark?"
