大乘入道次第開決 1.11

1.11

菩薩在此創安其心等者。謂創安住空無我理得住佛家故名安住。故釋經中名為十解。解空理故。故本業云。心住空理。名之為住。花嚴經云。諸菩薩住不可思議。與法界虛空等。是故得住三世佛家。雖解空理名之為解。而未即能依解起於無住妙行。名行未勝。

'Bodhisattvas here initially establish their minds', and so forth: this means that by initially abiding in the principle of emptiness and non-self, they are able to abide in the family of the Buddha, and are therefore named 'peaceful abiding' (ādhimuktikāvasthā / initial abiding). Hence in the commentary on the sūtra they are called the 'ten understandings', because they understand the principle of emptiness. Therefore the Benye jing says: 'When the mind abides in the principle of emptiness, it is named abiding.' The Avataṃsaka-sūtra says: 'The abidings of bodhisattvas are inconceivable, equal to the realm of phenomena and empty space. Therefore they are able to abide in the family of the Buddhas of the three periods of time.' Although understanding the principle of emptiness is called 'understanding', they are not yet able to give rise to the wondrous practice of non-abiding based on that understanding; this is named 'practice not yet superior'.
