梵網經古迹記 1.18

1.18

The commentary states: Second, asking contains two: asking, and answering. This is the first. Some say there are three questions: "ground" asks about conditioned practices; "empty space" asks about practices within the unconditioned; "sentient beings" refers to sentient beings equipped with the above two practices. This is incorrect. It is asking about their cause and effect based on their dwelling place. Regarding "the seed of a bodhisattva", because the other chapters ask about it extensively, it is not asked here. (The old commentary says: The six supreme bases are named seeds, as explained in the Bodhisattvabhūmi.)
