大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 82.7

82.7

Regarding the Commentary's "Among the nine, first blending the three matters": this is because mind, Buddha, and sentient beings are not differentiated. Later, "apart from the characteristics of blending": hence it explains non-blending. Now, within non-blending there are two [aspects]: first, not destroying characteristics; second, being apart from the characteristics of blending. 'Apart from the characteristics of blending' is because, in terms of the principle, there is nothing that can be blended, and in terms of the mind, there are no conceptual thoughts. 'Not destroying characteristics' is because, in terms of their being fundamentally blended in themselves, they cannot be [further] blended. From "the three matters" onward, it points to the text to cite corroboration.
