3.152

初引晉《華嚴》,即安住長者成就法門名不滅度,所得三昧名無盡佛性。唐譯名佛種無盡。梵云三昧,此云正思,亦云正受。無盡者,以佛性無盡故,入此三昧見三世佛亦無盡。又此宗中三世互現故,現在中見過未佛也。廣示如經。後引義同,即本經二十一中之義。是知栴檀塔下勝觀元存,靈鷲山中釋迦常在,莫隨妄想見有去來。

The first cites the Jin *Avataṃsaka-sūtra*, namely the elder Sthira's accomplished Dharma gate named 'Non-Extinction,' and the samādhi attained by him named 'Inexhaustible Buddha-nature.' The Tang translation names it 'Inexhaustible Buddha-lineage.' Sanskrit *samādhi* is translated here as correct reflection, and also as correct absorption. 'Inexhaustible' is because Buddha-nature is inexhaustible; entering this samādhi, seeing the Buddhas of the three periods of time is also inexhaustible. Furthermore, in this school, the three periods of time mutually manifest; hence within the present, one sees the Buddhas of the past and future. It is extensively shown as in the scripture. The subsequent citation shares the same meaning, namely the meaning in the twenty-first fascicle of that scripture. Thus we know that beneath the sandalwood stūpa the sublime contemplation originally persists, and upon Vulture Peak Śākyamuni constantly abides; do not follow false discrimination to see coming and going.
