4.64

若《華嚴經》,但具二教所成:一,別教;二,圓教。所以者何?別教,則諸菩薩宣說歷劫修行四十二心斷結、行、位皆差;圓教,明一心具足一切諸行,從初一地具足一切諸地功德。

A text such as the Avataṃsaka Sūtra is constituted by only two teachings: first, the distinctive teaching; second, the perfect teaching. Why is this? The distinctive teaching refers to the various bodhisattvas preaching practice cultivated through successive kalpas, cutting fetters through forty-two minds, with stages and practices graded and distinct; the perfect teaching clarifies that a single thought-moment is fully endowed with all practices, and from the initial ground one is fully endowed with the merits of all grounds.
