新譯華嚴經七處九會頌釋章 1.49

1.49

問曰：第五地中真俗竝觀，故名難勝。何故《仁王經．菩薩教化品》說「善覺菩薩四天王，雙照二諦平等道，權化眾生遊百國，始登一乘無相道。」此文則說初地菩薩照二諦平等道。如是違文，當得會釋耶？答曰：雙照有二義：一前後雙照、二同時雙照。今約第二，故名難勝，故無有失。

Question: In the fifth stage, ultimate and conventional are contemplated together; hence it is named Difficult to Conquer. Why does the 'Chapter on Bodhisattva Transformation' in the Humane King Sūtra say: 'The Bodhisattva of Excellent Awakening, king of the four heavens, equally illuminates the path of equality of the two truths; provisionally transforming sentient beings, he travels through one hundred lands, newly ascending to the signless path of the One Vehicle'? This passage states that the bodhisattva of the first stage illuminates the path of equality of the two truths. How can such conflicting passages be reconciled?
Answer: Dual illumination has two senses: first, dual illumination sequentially; second, dual illumination simultaneously. It is now in terms of the second sense that it is named Difficult to Conquer; therefore, there is no error.
