一切雜染心是也。 又云。 圓融國土。 差別世界海等種種境界。 不在心外。 此有師子臆中。 五華藏互交踄入。 十重重十無盡。 由逆順成十華藏。 猶如因陀羅網互現影故。 又云。 五華藏者。 過多不六。 減少不四。 一切五部。 准此可知。 類八五相。 亦復如是。 五華藏者。 即五色蓮。 一白蓮．二赤蓮．三青蓮．四黃蓮．五黑蓮．是五蓮華。 皆悉由無生法忍所起。 從大悲胎藏所生。 此華相色。 即師子臆中五種色大蓮華。 此即經中所說師子勝相國是也。 一約世間之五行方處釋色相者。 一者肺華。 三葉。 白色。 似半月。 二者心華。 赤色。 有三角。 三者肝華。 八葉。 青色具五色。 四者脾華。 一葉。 黃色。 有四隅。 五者腎華。 八葉。 黑色。 二約五大者。 一風。 黑色。 似半月。 二火。 赤色。 三角。 三空。 青色具五。 四地。 黃色。 四方。 五水。 白色圓。

It also says: 'The five flower treasuries: being more, they do not exceed six; being fewer, they are not less than four. All five divisions may be understood accordingly. The class of eight-five characteristics is also like this. The five flower treasuries are the five-coloured lotuses: first, the white lotus; second, the red lotus; third, the blue-green lotus; fourth, the yellow lotus; fifth, the black lotus. These five lotuses all arise from the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas, born from the womb-treasury of great compassion. The colour and form of these flowers are the great lotuses of five colours within the chest of the lion; this is what the sūtra speaks of as the land of the lion's supreme characteristics.'
