維摩經略疏 3.19

3.19

「住佛威儀心如大海」此兩句，是八、歎形心兩稱。形則進止得儀，心則含弘無隔，如世長者禮儀備足有大人之懷。又住佛威儀者，如十地菩薩學佛象王迴視等，舉足下足有所運為無非佛事。有言具佛相好也；今言能如佛不起滅定，現諸威儀普利一切。「心大如海」者，《大經》明海有八不思議，佛法亦爾。具出彼經。今言菩薩無緣大慈，含容一切心無取相，是故不增；雖觀諸法畢竟空寂，而不捨眾生，故名不減。猶如大海，眾流常入而不增、沃燋常煎而不減，故言心大如海。

"Abiding in the Buddha's deportment, his mind was like the great ocean": these two lines are the eighth, praising both bodily form and mind being fitting. In bodily form, his actions and pauses attained proper etiquette; in mind, his magnanimity had no barriers, like a worldly householder who possesses complete etiquette and the broad mind of a great person. Furthermore, "abiding in the Buddha's deportment" is like the bodhisattvas of the tenth ground learning the elephant-king backward glance of the Buddha and so forth: lifting a foot or setting a foot down, whatever they carry out is nowhere not the Buddha's work. Some say he possessed the marks and signs of the Buddha; now we say that he was able, like the Buddha, without rising from the concentration of cessation, to manifest all deportments and universally benefit all beings. "His mind was as vast as the ocean": the Great Sūtra clarifies that the ocean has eight inconceivable qualities, and the Buddha's Dharma is likewise. This is fully set forth in that sūtra. Now we say that the bodhisattva's unconditioned great compassion embraces everything, his mind grasping no marks, and therefore it does not increase; although he contemplates all dharmas as ultimately empty and quiescent, he does not abandon sentient beings, and therefore it does not decrease. Just like the great ocean, into which the myriad streams constantly enter without increasing it, and the submarine volcano constantly scorches without decreasing it, hence it is said that his mind was as vast as the ocean.
