金剛般若論會釋 1.22

1.22

Above, the eighteen abodes were explained; below, eight abodes are separately explained to subsume the sūtra text; or again, subsuming the previous eighteen abodes into eight involves no fault. Within the eight abodes, there are two parts: first, explaining the eight; second, explaining what is general and what is specific. In the first there are three: first, setting forth; next, listing; finally, correlating and explaining. "Abode" means initial arousal of the mind, upholding the true Dharma, embracing bodhi, and the function of benefiting sentient beings; the abode of pāramitā purification is because of practicing superior goodness and purifying all obstacles; the abode of the pure mind is termed "pure mind" on account of being untainted. The rest can all be understood.
