大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 82.3

82.3

(Fascicle 54 of the sūtra) The Commentary's passage from "One who preaches the Dharma" onward is from the Maudgalyāyana chapter of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa: "At that time Maudgalyāyana was preaching the Dharma to householders in a lane, and Vimalakīrti came and said to me: 'O Great Maudgalyāyana! Preaching the Dharma to lay householders should not be as the Venerable One preaches it. Why is that? One who preaches the Dharma should preach it in accordance with the Dharma. The Dharma is free of sentient beings, because it is free from the defilement of sentient beings. The Dharma has no self, because it is free from the defilement of a self,'" and so forth. From "Since preaching the Dharma [includes] both provisional and real" onward, the meaning is drawn from the intention of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa.
