新華嚴經論 1.34

1.34

八龍女成佛所居國土別者，即言南方無垢世界，非此娑婆。解云：心得應真，故稱無垢。正順本覺，故號南方，為南北為正故。又南方為明、為虛，南為离，离中虛。八卦中离法，心心虛無故，即還依世俗八卦表之。餘方雖無八卦之名，其方法是一法也。故雖然理既如是，有理即有事故，還須有國，眾所歸依。若有別住南方，自他彼此猶隔，此乃猶順三乘，分別引權根而生信解，遷就佛乘，故為三乘餘執勢分難摧。且有一分迴心，自他之情未絕。不同《華嚴》頓印法界之體，自他相徹，一一微塵之內住因陀羅網之門。是故今言所居國土別。

Eighth, the difference in the lands inhabited upon the dragon girl’s attainment of Buddhahood: That is, it is said to be the Spotless World in the south, not this Sahā world. The explanation says: The mind attains conformity with the real, hence it is called 'spotless.' Correctly according with original enlightenment, it is therefore termed 'the south,' because the north-south [axis] is upright. Moreover, the south represents clarity and emptiness; south is the Li [trigram], and Li is empty within. According to the method of the Li trigram among the eight trigrams, because mind upon mind is empty and without [substance], it is thereby represented relying on the worldly eight trigrams. Although the other directions lack the names of the eight trigrams, their directional principle is of a single principle. Therefore, although the principle is indeed as such, because wherever there is principle there are phenomena, there must still be a land as that upon which the multitude relies. If she separately dwells in the south, self and other, this and that, are still separated; this is still according with the three vehicles, discriminatively leading those of provisional capacity to generate faith and understanding, making concessions toward the Buddha Vehicle. Therefore, because the residual attachments and momentum of the three vehicles are difficult to break, though they have a portion of mind turned [to the truth], the conceptualization of self and other has not yet been cut off. This is unlike the Avataṃsaka's sudden imprinting of the essence of the dharmadhātu, where self and other thoroughly penetrate each other, and within every single minute dust mote one dwells in the portal of Indra's net. Therefore, it is now said that there is a difference in the lands inhabited.
