尊重行者。新花嚴經名難得行。謂能成就難得善根。即由難得故成尊重。既得難得尊重善根。二利之行更增進也。

'Reverent practice': in the new Avataṃsaka-sūtra it is named the 'hard to attain practice'. This means being able to accomplish roots of goodness that are hard to attain; precisely because they are hard to attain, reverence is established. Having attained these hard to attain and reverent roots of goodness, the practices of the two benefits further advance.
