華嚴經旨歸 1.62

1.62

二、同說經者，唯於此類須彌山界，遍於虛空毛端等處，以言聲說亦無有盡，如〈不思議品〉云「如來一化身，轉如是等不可譬喻法輪雲，一切法界虛空界等世界，悉以毛端周遍度量。一一毛端處，於念念中化不可說不可說佛剎微塵等身，乃至盡未來際劫。一一化佛身有不可說不可說佛剎微塵等頭，一一頭有不可說不可說佛剎微塵等舌，一一舌出不可說不可說佛剎微塵等音聲，一一音聲說不可說不可說佛剎微塵等修多羅，一一修多羅說不可說不可說佛剎微塵等法，一一法中說不可說不可說佛剎微塵等句身味身。復不可說不可說佛剎微塵等劫，說異句身味身音聲充滿法界，一切眾生無不聞者，盡一切未來際劫常轉法輪，如來音聲無異無斷，不可窮盡。」亦〈阿僧祇品〉偈云「彼諸一一如來等，出不可說梵音聲。於彼一一梵音中，轉不可說淨法輪。於彼一一法輪中，雨不可說修多羅。於彼一一修多羅，分別諸法不可說。於彼一一諸法中，又說諸法不可說。又復於彼說法中，說眾生依不可說。又於一一毛道中，不可說劫說正法。如彼一微毛端處，一切十方亦如是。」解云：此中說處非樹形等，言聲說教非色香等，故不同。但一類無盡，非可結集，不可限其品頌多少，亦非下位所能受持。

Second, as for the Identically Expounded Sūtra: solely in Mount Sumeru realms of this kind, pervading empty space, hair-tips, and other places, expounding by spoken sounds is also without end. As the "Inconceivable Chapter" says: "A single nirmāṇakāya of the Tathāgata turns such unparaphrasable clouds of the dharmacakra, with worlds equal to the entire dharmadhātu and space-dhatu fully measured out by hair-tips. At each single hair-tip, in thought-moment after thought-moment, he emanates bodies equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands, up to the kalpas of the future bounds of time. Each emanated Buddha-body has heads equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each head has tongues equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each tongue emits sounds equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each sound expounds sūtras equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each sūtra expounds dharmas equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; within each dharma, he expounds padakāyas and vyañjanakāyas equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands. Furthermore, for kalpas equal to the subtle atoms of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands, he expounds distinct padakāyas and vyañjanakāyas, with sounds filling the dharmadhātu, such that there are no sentient beings who do not hear them; exhausting all kalpas of the future bounds of time, constantly turning the wheel of the Dharma, the Tathāgata's voice is without difference and without interruption, impossible to exhaust." Also, a verse in the "Asaṃkhyeya Chapter" says: / "Each of those Tathāgatas / Emits ineffable Brahma voices. / Within each of those Brahma voices, / He turns ineffable pure wheels of the Dharma. / Within each of those wheels of the Dharma, / He rains down ineffable sūtras. / Within each of those sūtras, / He distinguishes ineffable dharmas. / Within each of those dharmas, / He further expounds ineffable dharmas. / Furthermore, within that expounding of the Dharma, / He expounds the ineffable supports of sentient beings. / Moreover, within each path of a hair, / For ineffable kalpas he expounds the true Dharma. / Just as it is at that single minute hair-tip, / So it is throughout the ten directions." / The explanation says: The places of expounding here are not tree-shaped and the like, and expounding the teaching through spoken sounds is not through forms, scents, and the like; hence they are not the same. However, this is one inexhaustible category that cannot be compiled into a canon, whose number of chapters and verses cannot be limited, and which cannot be received and held by those of lower ranks.
