大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 90.7

90.7

Regarding "Fourth, the cognitive illumination is non-dual, characteristics are extinguished, and object and cognition are [unified], etc.": this means, first, object and cognition are non-dual; second, beginning and end are non-dual, which is also faith and wisdom being non-dual; third, defilement and purity are non-dual; fourth, wisdom and cessation are non-dual; fifth, principle and phenomena are non-dual. Because one realizes the meaning of the non-duality of principle and phenomena, defilement and purity both vanish, the nature of affliction and the nature of wisdom are of one equal nature, beginning and end are without differentiation, and subject and object are equally fused; nor do dualities arise, because of non-dual discrimination. The preceding scripture says: "The mind does not weigh dual dharmas, / But constantly realizes that dharmas are non-dual. / Whether dharmas are dual or non-dual, / Within them, one ultimately has no attachment." Only this is genuine non-duality.
