大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 87.3

87.3

Regarding the commentary's: "Fourth, the householder Vidvān entrusts to the Practice of Non-Disturbance": this is because diligence lacks indolence and regression. Regarding the commentary's: "Identical to being born in the four abodes": the four abodes are birth into the house of the noble teaching; because the three stages of the worthy and the ten stages of the noble are broadly similar, the former is identical to the four abodes, and the latter is identical to the four stages. Regarding the commentary's: "Food has five fruits": this is found in the second fascicle of the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, where the Tathāgata addressed Cunda: "I now bestow upon you eternal life, physical form, strength, ease, and unobstructed eloquence. Because of giving food, it benefits life, physical form, strength, ease, and eloquence; thus one immediately attains these five. Due to these being impermanent, one ultimately attains the five eternal ones." All of this has already been explained in the "Chapter on Pariṇāmanā", and is now fully matched here.
