大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 82.30

82.30

Regarding the commentary’s section beginning with "However, the divine eye," in the second part explaining the divine eye, it first introduces the five eyes. The phrase "provisional combination" identifies its essence, because the flesh and divine eyes both have pure subtle matter of the four great elements, which is invisible and possesses resistance, as their essence; they differ only by the human and heavenly destinies. The phrase "not seeing the true mark" refers to the objective realm seen, which merely inverts the preceding seeing the near but not the distant, and so on. Thus, what the preceding five cannot see, the divine eye can see all of them, yet it cannot see the true mark, because the true mark is the objective realm of the wisdom eye. From "now, clarifying the seeing of mind" onward, it reveals these ten eyes. The statement "it seems identical to that" means that if mind is viewed in terms of characteristics, it is not the true mark. Here it encompasses both nature and characteristics, and therefore it is not identical.
