維摩經玄疏 4.18

4.18

二、類釋九住者，如此初住，三觀現前，無功用心，念念斷法界無量品無明，不可稱計。一往大分，略為十品智斷，即是十住，故《仁王經》云「入理般若，名為住」，即是十番進發無漏真明，同入中道佛性第一義諦之理，以不住法，從淺至深，住佛三德涅槃之理；即是十品智慧，住一切佛法，故名十住。

Second, explaining the [remaining] nine abodes by analogy: just as in this initial abode the threefold contemplation is present before one and through an effortless mind one severs in every thought immeasurable, innumerable grades of ignorance of the dharma-realm, broadly speaking they are summarily classified into ten grades of wisdom and severance, which constitute the ten abodes. Hence the Renwang jing says: "Entering prajñā of the principle is called 'abiding.'" This means ten stages of progressively advancing and giving rise to uncontaminated true clarity, together entering the principle of the middle way, buddha-nature, and paramārtha-satya; by means of non-abiding dharmas, from shallow to deep, one abides in the principle of the Buddha's three virtues of nirvāṇa; this is the ten grades of wisdom abiding in all buddhadharmas, and therefore they are called the ten abodes.
