佛祖統紀 34.33

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [34.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.33)

第一華嚴時。於菩提道場初說華嚴。於三七日中思惟如是事。此謂如來最初說頓。約部為頓。約教為兼別說圓。如日初出先照高山。又為從牛出乳（三七日說名寂場華嚴）。

> The first is the Avataṃsaka period. At the bodhimaṇḍa, he initially spoke the Avataṃsaka. During three times seven days, he contemplated such matters. This refers to the Tathāgata's initial preaching of the sudden \[teaching\]. In terms of the text, it is sudden; in terms of the teaching, it combines the distinct with the perfect. It is like the sun first rising and first shining on the high mountains. Furthermore, it corresponds to drawing milk from a cow (the preaching during the three times seven days is called the Avataṃsaka of the Quiescent Site).
