华严经要解

宋温陵比丘戒环集

前引

庚戌冬，先师明观老和尚示寂，治丧之余，悲思纷集。因忆师所付遗作中，曾记述在浙东行化时，有治习华严得不可思议神妙境界等语，顿起业尽情空廓然无碍之观。即屏居香港光明讲堂，读诵大经，迥向吾师，随读随记，以资探索，并检同全部华严著述集要为参究。其中有宋温陵戒环比丘所集华严要解，解妙义丰，不厌三复。爰亟付印，冀有助于后之读者。并将贤首国师华严三昧章合刊于后，以同开宝藏焉。

大方广佛华严经要解

宋温陵白莲寺比丘戒环集

戒环向以华严海藏汗漫难究。遂三复方山长者疏论。述总要叙。疏条经旨。稍辨端倪。继沿缀缉清果明禅师所集修证仪。略解圣号表法。屡为贤达下询。愿尽九会之奥。因取清凉国师纲要。与论校雠。别为斯解。以方山为正，清凉为助。洞究全藏才万八千言。庶几览者。无异剖大经于一尘。睹法界于弹指也。

建炎戊申上元日

初悬叙

大方广佛华严经者。直示诸佛众生平等。佛性本真德用也。三世诸佛所同证。十方菩萨所同修。大千圣众所同尊。法界众生所同具也。

释迦如来。初成正觉。欲明所修之因。所证之果。欲使人人同修同证。故现千丈卢舍那身演说。文殊菩萨与阿难海于铁围山间结集。对上中下根。分为三部。上部有十三千大千世界微尘数偈。一四天下微尘数品。中部有四十九万八千八百偈。一千二百品。下部有十万偈。四十八品。皆自一音所演。随类各解。为上根闻此。称性遍周。刹说尘说。炽然无间。则大千刹尘未足究尽。犹以多数号之尔。中根闻此。惟悟当会之经。未极刹尘之说。故偈品稍寡。下根闻此。意局言诠。见存限量。故惟得十万偈。四十八品。传来未备。今经止四万五千偈。三十九品。在昔结集之后。秘于龙宫。龙树菩萨。运神海藏。观前二部。渺若渊海。非人世所及。乃诵后部归于五天。爰布中夏。虽丰文博义。理穷法界。事极刹尘。皆为发明当人自性故有之德。

盖大方广体。物物圆成。但局于识情。故束之令小。佛华严行。人人本具。但汩于尘劳。故失其华严。此经不离识情。示现智海。即诸尘劳。繁兴妙用。一念圆证。则大方广体。佛华严行。当处现前。不从他得。信谓自性固有矣。则诠指之要。不可不究也。

此经所诠。以毗卢法身为体。以文殊妙智为用。依智断习。则普贤妙行为因。习尽智圆。则补处弥勒为果。一藏体要。不离此四。故以毗卢为教主。所以立体也。以文殊为信首。所以起用也。以普贤发行。所以示因也。自十信而始。五位而终。乃见弥勒。所以示果也。然体用因果。必依毗卢文殊普贤弥勒。何也。

梵语毗卢舍那。此云光明遍照。在佛为清净法身。在人为本觉妙性。华严以此为体者。直欲众生见妙性而证法身也。梵语文殊师利。此云妙德。在佛为普光大智。在人为观察妙心。华严以此为用者。直欲众生明妙心而证大智也。普贤者。德无不遍曰普。佑上利下曰贤。在佛为真净妙行。在人为尘劳业用。华严以此为因者。直欲众生翻尘劳而成妙行也。梵语弥勒。此云慈氏。在佛为补处之主。在人为数取之身。华严以此为果者。直欲众生离数取而趣补处也。然则华严体用因果。诸佛众生则一。但诸佛合觉。众生合尘。故有间耳。苟于此经。一念反照。灭尘合觉。则革凡入圣信犹反掌。而自己毗卢文殊普贤弥勒。当处圆现。所谓初发心时。便成正觉。信不妄也。

二释题

大方广佛。标本智也。华严经者。诠妙行也。本智。即平等佛性。妙行。即本真德用也。大言体极无外。蠢动贤愚。皆所预有。方言相同法界。方正平等。不迁不动。广言用等太虚。周遍含容。无所窒碍。佛即本智之果号也。华者。万行之因。对果言华。严者。以是因华。庄严果佛。忘心遗照。无严不严。然后福智行愿。十德圆满。乃证十身卢遮那也。清凉云。大方广者。所证法也。佛华严者。能证人也。其所证者。不离本智。其能证者。不离妙行。盖一揆也。经则贯摄所诠之法。为一定之体。万世不易也。此经立题。先果后因。而兼举者。何也。先果后因。示斯果佛。先所固有。特藉因华庄严。而后显著。兼举者。欲因果相资也。盖非果则因无以立。非因则果无以成。是以此经初则举果劝修。次复举行趣果。一经之体。一题可见矣。

三科解

十会。四十品经。大科分三。曰序。正宗。流通。初世主妙严品。为序分。二如来现相品已下。为正宗分。三如来出现品已下。为流通分。（清凉从法界品尔时文殊从善住楼阁出已下为流通分。）三科之中。各具五位法门。号三周因果。二种常道。五位法门者。十住。十行。十回向。十地。十一地也。三周因果者。初会世主品。至毗卢舍那。六品为一周。乃佛自分五位因果。为举果劝修见道分。二会至八会。从佛名号品。至如来出现。三十二品为一周。乃进修者五位因果。为设法治习修证分。（九会离世间品。明果后利生之常道。而通为设法治习修证分也。）第十会法界品。善财南游。始终为一周。乃圆彰重谕五位因果。为去言依行圆彰法界分。二种常道者。一离世间品。同尘不染。利生常道。二法界品。忘修绝证。佛果常道。此一藏总科也。（清凉以初会六品。为举果劝乐生信分。二会至七会三十一品。为修因契果生解分。离世间一品。为托法进修成行分。法界一品。为依人证入成德分。通以信解行证四字。判尽一藏。）言十会四十品经者。此经既谓表法。有十处十会。演十信十地等修证法。各以十众配十波罗蜜。一一言十者。十为圆数。所以圆彰顿法也。初会菩提场六品。二会普光殿六品。三会忉利天六品。四会夜摩天四品。五会兜率天三品。六会他化天一品。七会三禅天一品。八会普光殿十一品。九会普光殿一品。十会给孤园一品。是为十处十会四十品。或云七处九会者。普光三会。爰折二处。三禅阙文。又减一处一会也。然虽十处十会。不离大智普光之殿。法界华藏之都。一处一会之说。但随进修行相。寄位表法。非如情见有前后往来之相。故经节节言。尔时世尊不离菩提场普光明殿而升某处也。

三周因果。初一周。为佛自分五位因果劝修等者。初会菩提场说六品法。显佛自己旷劫修因。严净刹海利生之事。以劝进后学。使见实迹而发进修也。清凉科为举果劝乐生信分。其意亦同。初世主妙严品。二如来现相品。三普贤三昧品。四世界成就品。五华藏世界品。六毗卢舍那品。

初世主妙严品者。即十会发起之通序也。华严会上菩萨。此会依菩提场说者。明旷劫修证之事。故于菩提场处而说。惟普贤行方能证入。故依普贤菩萨发起也。神天皆号世主。谓以福德神力主护世间也。华严会上通有四十一众。初集法会。各申偈赞。显如来因地所修五位法门。一一众海。威德炽盛。舍那十身。圆融炳著。同严法会。故名妙严品。此品首言菩提场成正觉地。及师子座。众宝庄严。境像互现。佛处宝座。成最正觉。智入三世。身遍十方。譬如虚空。具含众像。总明果觉。依正殊特。德用无边也。次陈法会云集。有四十一众。表佛自身五位因果。为进修宗本。

初普贤等十菩萨为一众。表十信法。次海月光等十菩萨。执金刚神。身众神。足行神。道场神。主城神。主地神。主山神。主林神。主药神。十众。表十住法。又次主稼神。至主昼神。十众。表十行法。又次阿修罗。至日天子。十众。表十回向法。又次三十三天。至大自在天。十众。表十地法。此众既集。各能说法。赞明如来所修五位法行。自后所设进修之法。皆本于此。故为进修本宗。

初表十信法众。有十佛刹微尘数普贤菩萨为上首。表普贤无尽之行也。十名同号曰普。表普贤圆融之行。其普字下。即彰自行。皆诸佛之同道也。以此表十信者。示诸佛同道。皆依普贤大行发信。为入法之初基也。

次表十住法众。初海月光等。十异名菩萨。表十住果行也。于十普之后。举十异名者。表依普贤行起差别行也。次执金刚神。至主药神九众。表十住因行也。其众各有佛刹尘数。皆表当位圆融之行也。执金刚。表应身护法。守正不坏。身众神。表以无量身。事无量佛。足行神。表众行满足。随顺正道。道场神。表大愿庄严。广兴供养。主城神。表善守心城。严净佛国。主地神。表深重愿力。成遂群生。主山神。表积集善根。出世高胜。主林神。表智干行花。说法广荫。主药神。表知根善救。用以法药。十住果众。始于海月光大明。表含容广济。除烦开觉。终于大福光智生。表利行明足。克成种智。皆成德之行也。其因众。始于执金刚。表守正不坏。终于主药。表知根善救。皆升进之行也。神表智通万有。不为而应也。以是通智。依佛所住。始于守正。终于善救。无思无为。冥进此道。斯成海月大福果矣。十住第一。名初发心住。首以果众表者。示初发心时。便成正觉也。余众次第表十住名。亦次第表十波罗蜜。论文备详。而每众又各十名。表一波罗蜜又各具十。圆融相摄。重重无尽。乃一性之妙用。万法之本体也。于同众中。又有异名者。以行随位异。故表法亦异。意在圆融博达。若滞一法。则行不该通。智不增明。无以具无尽之行。无以成种智之果矣。自执金刚神。下至龙天鬼众。皆菩萨随应之迹。散花异类。非实鬼神也。

次表十行法众。初主稼神。表以资粮法。成就众生。主河神。表迅流普洁。利益众生。主海神。表容会善恶。皆入法流。主水神。表随物润益。能净诸垢。主火神。表随缘发光。破除暗障。主风神。表以平等智。散灭我慢。主空神。表广大明洁。万行无著。主方神。表智照十方。大千圆满。主夜神。表以智照明生死长夜。主昼神。表一心匪懈阐明佛日。次主稼十众表十行者。示从住起行。利生之因果也。前以菩萨表果。神众表因。而此始终皆以神表者。示十行法。即因即果。为一乘资粮位。盖以佛果十行。资大心众生。进趣佛位。资见道菩萨。长养大悲。即因果相资义也。三乘说信住行向。为地前四种资粮。初地已上。为见道加行。此经不然。即十信位。至十住初心。总为见道。住行向地。总为加行。总为资粮。三者同进。互相资发。废一则涉小乘。非圆顿法。直须以果严因。以因严果。乃成佛华严也。其十众表义。皆利生之行。次第表十行名。亦次第表十波罗蜜。及随位异行。圆融相摄。一如前解。后亦准此。盖十波罗蜜。五位通修。菩萨万行。不离此也。

次表十向法众。初修罗众。表处生死海。和同真俗。迦楼罗众。表以大方便。拔济众生。紧那罗众。表非圣非凡。同行自在。摩侯罗伽众。表守护伽蓝。令割痴网。夜叉众。表守护拔济苦活众生。天龙众。表兴法云雨。覆荫润泽。鸠槃茶众。表示入诸趣。垂慈利生。乾闼婆众。表依五分香。娱乐众生。月天子众。表清凉热恼。显发宝明。日天子众。表处高利下。照物成功。以修罗至日天子十众表十向者。以前十住十行。但修出世悲智。未尽处俗利行。此位回真向俗。回智向悲。使真俗圆融。智悲不二。处生死海。自在如王。其位弥高。其行弥下。故始以修罗王表。终以日天子表。余皆随位之行也。

次表十地法众二。初欲界五天五。初三十三天王赞云。发起世间广大福业者。经叹德云。皆勤发起一切世间广大之业。此天王即帝释也。处忉利天。具大福业。少欲净居。令世愿慕。同修善行。是谓发起广大之业。二夜摩天赞。经云。习大善根。心常具足。论云。此天昼夜常明。表大智也。有众德妙乐。表法乐也。三兜率天赞。经云。勤持一切诸佛名号。论云。具戒定慧。得生此天。四化乐天赞。经云。皆勤调伏众生。令得解脱。论云。化利一切。以为自乐。五他化天赞。经云。皆勤修习自在方便广大法门。论云。表菩萨化他自乐。

次色界五天五。初禅大梵天赞。经云。慈愍众生。舒光普照。令得快乐。论云。离欲清净名梵。二禅光音天赞。论云。此天已灭忧苦。出语口中光生。表教光普化。三禅遍净天赞。论云。已无忧苦。唯有禅悦。四禅广果天赞。经云。以寂静法为宫殿。论云。福德广大为广果。色界顶大自在天赞。经云。皆勤观察无相之法。所行平等。论云。表十地满。无相智成。上所举经。皆叹德词。以十天众表十地者。以从三贤超入十圣。其道明极。故以天表。余义同前。此与法华会上。皆无无色天众者。以彼天无色蕴。不可见故。上释云集众竟。

通举所集声闻辟支菩萨佛为四圣。即法界会上影响声闻。及诸比丘知识是也。天人鬼畜六道为六凡。即云集神天八部。及诸俗士知识是也。诸众来集。虽夜叉摩侯罗鸠槃茶鬼畜之类。亦各说是法门。足知皆是三身四智圣人权现也。

法众既集。尔时如来所坐之座。一切庄严具中。各出佛刹尘数菩萨。海慧自在神通王等为上首。各兴供养。说偈赞佛。以明古今同道。及赞法众云集。又为现相说法之因也。佛因其赞请。于是放眉间光。现诸胜相。为众说法。故次有如来现相品也。论以前众。表五位法。方至十地。未有表十一地之众。今妄意此众。既为诸佛同道。宜表十一地果位之法。非表所急。则略之也。或经文不标圣号。而品位合位则补之。或广举多号。而表法惟一。有不胜录者则约之。意欲文简义明。使礼诵者。易欣慕无烦厌也。又今解释。亦依法论撮要义举大纲。或本文意隐。则取别卷以兼明。或旧说辞略。则摭所闻而设畅。或循旧言意。而小有改易。皆务疏条精朗。使研味者。易深达而无壅蔽也。

已上皆世主妙严品序分竟。（此品计五卷）

二如来现相品者。正宗分起。此菩萨神天世主既集。默默请法。有三十七问。初问十八种佛法。次问十九种菩萨海。皆是诸佛智行境界德用。以发起此经一切法门。经云。尔时诸菩萨。及一切世间主。作是思惟。云何是智海。于是如来放光现相以答所问。初总答。次别答。遂成一部四十品经也。初总答有二。一现智境。即此品是。二现行境。即后品是。此品于面门众齿间。放十种光。普照十方。以佛神力。其光能说偈颂。召集世界海菩萨众。俱来听法。其菩萨众。一一毛孔。现种种光明。一一光中。现刹尘菩萨。遍事刹尘诸佛。遍度刹尘众生。此现华严法界体性智悲自在无碍无尽之相也。如来复放眉间毫相。于毫相中现菩萨众。各说偈赞。以显如来无边境界神通之力。经云。尔时世尊。欲令一切菩萨得如来无边境界神力故。放眉间光。遍照十方。一一尘中现无数佛。复有菩萨。名法胜音等。与世界海尘数菩萨。俱时而出。说颂赞佛。此现刹海无障碍法。是现智境之相也。总答前问。故曰现相品。（此品计一卷）

三普贤三昧品者。现行境总答前问也。普贤。德无不遍。表佛行门。三昧。此云正定。即佛神力加被普贤。使入正定。现行境也。经云。尔时普贤承佛神力。入一切毗卢藏身三昧。能于法界示现众相。出生一切诸三昧法。成就一切佛功德海。时十方法界。一一尘中。有刹尘佛。一一佛前。各有普贤入是三昧。以至令诸菩萨。各得尘数三昧行门。是现行境。总答前问。故曰普贤三昧品。已答前智境行境竟。自后一藏法门。一切因果。无非智行所摄。故先以二门总答。所谓诸佛境界。乃至菩萨发趣等法。总备于此矣。后三十七品。即别答也。

四世界成就品者。即别答世界海众生海之问。意明众生诸佛世界。形相万殊。苦乐净秽。转变差别。各随自行业力所感成就。故经云。诸世界海有微尘数转变差别。所谓染污众生住。则成染污转变。发菩提心众生住。则成清净转变。乃至菩萨所集。则成大庄严转变。诸佛涅槃。则成庄严灭转变。所以言此者。欲令众生知染净境。苦乐等相。皆从业生。遂生正心。修出要道。以入佛智慧海。入佛华藏海。是以先说世界成就品。次说华藏世界品。成就品别答初起。（此品与前普贤三昧品共一卷）

五华藏世界品者。别答佛海波罗蜜海之问也。此品说毗卢无尽法界妙庄严境。由依法身智体。普贤愿行。修五位十波罗蜜之所感报。是谓佛海波罗蜜海。经云。此华藏庄严世界海。在十重风轮上。香水海□香幢大莲华内。有无数香水海。尘数世界种。相依而住。号世界网。中心一世界种。有二十重。此娑婆界。在第十三重。即毗卢如来所居。有十世界种围之。次十之外。又有百世界种周匝。而裹以金刚大轮围山。计一百一十一世界种。各有所表也。十重风轮。持香水海。出大莲华。刹尘相依者。表大愿风轮。持大智海。出生无边妙行之华。严持身刹为佛净土也。中心一世界种。表佛位总摄一切遍一切。为万法之本。次十者。表五位一因一果。又次百者。表五位因果。各具十波罗蜜。其内十一世界种各二十重。表五位升进及佛位。各具十因十果也。一一世界。有微尘数佛。皆毗卢如来往昔亲事。经于一界。举一佛。各表当位升进之果也。其百世界种。极外一世界种。各有四重。各有四佛。表四摄法。意明十度万行。以利行爱语同事四摄为外防也。其世界网。各具一切胜妙庄严。皆佛智行遍周。摄化所感。其间亦有杂染世界者。表佛慈摄化不舍于此。故经云。杂染及清净。斯由业力起。菩萨之所化。言世界种世界海者。种以出生之多。海以包摄之多。数三千大千至恒沙。为一世界种。恒沙界种。为一世界性。恒沙界性。为一世界海。此等皆藏于□香幢大莲华内。故名华藏世界。论谓数大千至恒沙。为一世界海。恒沙界性。为一世界种。即是种能包海。而经云。世界海内有世界种。今据经说。此皆是毗卢如来往昔亲事诸佛。表当位升进之果也。（此品计三卷）

六毗卢舍那品者。明古先毗卢如来。亦居华藏世界。说法利生。其法众法门。与今不异。但佛号不同。盖随机异。非佛异也。由前五品。举今毗卢成道。因果利生之事。此则引古证今。以明三世道同。因果不别。使后进者同证此果。故复说此品。而通前皆为举果劝修见道分。盖未见道体。难以进修。故次此之后。乃示设法治习修道分也。此品举往古过刹尘劫。有佛次第出兴。有王子号大威光。历事诸佛。证得一切法门。一切利行。一切三昧。互举四佛。而无结终之处。盖此品来文未备也。清凉以大威光为毗卢前身。经中不言。又言此六品经。为举果劝乐生信分。（此品计一卷）

初菩提场说经六品。共计十一卷。明如来依正法门。上释三周中初周法竟。

第二周。二会至八会。为进修者五位因果等者。此正示学者五位进趣之行。初依信心。发明正智。破照无明。次依五位。炼治惑习。研极正果。是谓设法治习修证分。通有三十二品。初。十信位六品。二。十住位六品。三。十行位四品。四。十向位三品。五。十地位一品。六。十一地一品。七。佛果位十一品。清凉科为修因契果生解分。谓修五位之圆因。契妙觉之极果。令物善解因果相也。五位皆言十者。各依十法升进故也。自住行向地十一地为五位。以信位为因。果位为果。是谓五位因果。圆摄法界行门。然初信后果。与中五位为七。而特言五位者。信本果体。初后圆该。不立阶差。故不预数。自信而出。趣果而动。位有增进。故寓数以明。信如种子。位如发生。果如结实。发生之际。有甲拆叶华之序。而种与果中。虽具不可分矣。盖道本无数。即信与果也。法则有数。即五位也。然位止于五者。以天数五。地数五。万法之数亦五。故天之经五星。地之纬五岳。人之行五常。而内则五藏。外则五体。至胸之会通。亦五而已。扩而推之。五方五色五行五音。有不胜举。则华严设位以五。盖体万法自然之数也。五位法门。以信为初因者。令修华严人。外信五位之法。皆自心德用。内信自心之佛。即毗卢同体。心法相应。然后进修。则智行不迷。及至果终。不离初信之法。譬如种子。先具全体。然后发生。及至成实。还是初种。此则因果不移。本末相彻。实华严之要门也。

十信法门。即第二会普光殿说六品。一佛名号品。二四圣谛品。三光明觉品。四问明品。五净行品。六贤首品。此依普光殿令文殊说者。表妙信依普光本智而起。依择法妙慧而住。若无此慧。但得二乘。不得乘如来乘。成正觉也。

一佛名号品者。示佛名迹随法应机。等众生心。各各不同。经云。一切诸佛。知诸众生欲乐不同。随其所应说法调伏。故如来于此娑婆世界一四天下。示种种身。种种名。或名一切义成。乃至或名导师。其数十千。于一四天下如是。十方世界亦复如是。名各十千。于此娑婆如是。尽法界虚空界亦复如是。示种种身种种名号品。此因第二会。他方来集菩萨。发四十问。初三行经。清凉分为十问。一佛刹。二佛住。三佛刹庄严。四佛法性。五佛刹清净。六佛所说法。七佛刹体性。八佛威德。九佛刹成就。十佛大菩提。

清凉曰。此十问为五对。皆上句问依报。下句问正报。又次问十住十行。至如来最胜。及如来光明。兼十信。成三十问。通计四十问也。方山将初三行经。皆以佛刹字为句。只作问四种佛刹。即阙六问。宜依清凉为句也。此初问佛刹佛住中。问如来境界及应化神力。故说此品答之。亦兼答前佛名号海之问也。以此答佛刹佛住者。广明如来身随刹现。名应物彰。令信入者。知自心佛本周法界。一切处无非佛刹。无非佛住。名皆佛名。体皆佛体。则华严妙观。念念现前矣。此众四十问。与世主三十七问。大同小异。而此再问者。前为举果劝修分。其问为明佛果所成之法。此为设法治习分。其问为明因行所依之法。果所成法。不涉言诠。故如来现相以总答也。因所依法。须藉款启。故文殊言说以别答。已下诸品。皆次第别答也。

将说十信法时。十方菩萨。各从金色平等色。十色世界。十智佛所。与刹尘菩萨来集。以表信门。十因十果。果即十智佛。因即文殊等十菩萨。十色世界。即所修法门。要即诸色法。明自心法也。此十位法。皆自根本不动智体而出。余九皆不动智德之用。依体修进。则其位有十。摄用归体。唯一法耳。此则寂照双运。修证同时。无复渐次。故经以佛菩萨同举。表因果同彰也。然寄此位表法。则为佛菩萨事。即法明心。则皆当人性德。华严之法。俯为机明。勿推之圣贤。谓自无其分也。故肇法师云。圣远乎哉。体之即神。

二四圣谛品者。示佛说法。称性应机。各各不同。经云。十方世界。说四圣谛。各有四百亿十千之名。乃至尽法界虚空界。说四圣谛。各有百亿万种之名。皆随众生心。悉令调伏。意明佛所说法。皆以苦集灭道四谛为体。因此四谛说种种法。夫性本天真。法无说示。由无明起业。苦集成缘。圣人不得已。应是而说教。故诸经皆以四圣谛十二缘为宗。而此称性法。亦首明之。盖性自此迷。自此现。则根尘解脱。本性真明矣。谓之四圣谛者。令了世间苦集四圣谛第一义。如理通融。无复厌断。如法界性。无去无取。依此为因。则五位升进。悉皆若是。而佛果可得矣。此是答前演说海之问也。（此品与前佛名号品共一卷）

三光明觉品者。佛于初会。放眉间果光。照十方已。从足下入。至此又从足下放出。其光照一大千。至十大千。渐次增广。遍照法界。令发信者。觉佛智境广大无尽。反觉自已法身智行。亦悉同等。由是进入五位。开明智眼。成果地觉。故号光明觉品。所以从足放出果光者。表依果行因。互相资发也。凡自因趣果。必具信解行证之四法。前三品明信。后三品即解行证也。

四问明品者。文殊与九首菩萨。互相问答。明显万法。以示十信之解也。初文殊问觉首云。心性是一。善恶苦乐。业云何别。觉首答曰。诸法无作用。妄心分别有。如理而观察。一切皆无性。意明业体本真。背觉故妄。依真起觉。则一切皆真。此十菩萨。明十甚深法也。觉首菩萨。明缘起甚深。财首。明教化甚深。宝首。明业果。德首。明说法。目首。明福田。勤首。明正教。法首。明正行。智首。明助道。贤首。明一道甚深。文殊。明佛境甚深。皆为显明真净法体。十问之后。尽法界众生界。一切差别之法。以佛神力。悉皆明现。故曰问明。（此品与前光明觉品共一卷）

五净行品者。广发大愿。为十信之行也。意以众生无明贪爱。染诸尘劳。失佛华严。由无愿力。既发净信。须依大愿净治尘劳。要即尘劳以成净行。此因智首菩萨。发一百一十问。云何得身语意业。及一切胜妙功德。故文殊为说一百四十大愿。略云。菩萨在家。当愿众生。免其逼迫。孝事父母。当愿众生。护养一切。终至睡眠始寤。当愿众生。一切智觉。皆令即尘劳事。翻成妙行。以是大愿。净身口意。即获一切胜妙功德。由是克成五位无尽行海。一切染法不能违碍。是为净行。（此品与贤首品上卷共一卷）

六贤首品者。明依十信法门。发心修进。功德难量。与佛同等。示十信之证也。经云。尔时文殊菩萨。说无浊乱清净行大功德已。欲显示菩提心功德。问贤首曰。我今已为诸菩萨。说佛往修清净行。仁亦当于此会中。演说修行胜功德。贤首答偈甚广。备陈发心修行功德。增益获果。利生供佛。乃至出入方网三昧。隐显同时。自在无碍。皆同毗卢文殊普贤。果行德用。示于十信六品之法。发菩提心。解行相应。即已获此证。自此顿入十住矣。方网三昧者。一方入正定。余方从定出。诸方入正定。一方从定出。犹如帝网。交彻融摄。至于男子身中入正定。女子身中从定出。皆如帝网。乃法界性用。本自如是。千差一体。无二无别。但随众生所见差别。若证如来无作性用。则出入自在。心无差别。则境无差别矣。十信圆证。当造乎此。此乃贤首行证。则创从凡夫。首入佛住。邻极亚圣。是谓贤首。故以贤首为品。自光明觉品至此。皆答菩萨发趣海之问。盖五位进趣。自十信发也。（此品计二卷）

十住者。由信证入。生如来家。依无住智。永不退还。名住。十住法门。即第三会须弥顶忉利天说。亦六品。一升须弥山品。二须弥顶偈赞品。三十住品。四梵行品。五发心功德品。六明法品。

一升须弥山品者。以处表法也。前普光殿。即人间地界。依地界说十信者。表创从凡地发信。今须弥山妙高际天。于此说十住者。表从信升进。入广大际故。十住品云。菩萨住处广大。与法界虚空等。其山在七金山海中。高耸天极。非手足攀揽所登。表十住法。出妙智海。高超情境。非心想攀缘所得。此品明信终升进。及叙帝释置座迎佛之事。又云。尔时世尊。不离一切菩提树下。而升须弥向帝释殿。帝释置普光明藏师子座。请佛安坐。此乃净法界身。遍一切处。随缘应现。犹如一月。影现千江。随舟南北。而曾无去来也。帝释请佛。说十偈赞。第一云。迦叶如来具大悲。彼佛曾来入此殿。至第十云。然灯如来大光明。彼佛曾来入此殿。论云。前三是今劫佛。后七是前劫佛。明创入十住。古今会同。佛法不异也。

二须弥偈赞品。乃法慧等十菩萨。赞显当位之法。劝示升进。盖十住以智为体。以慧为用。乃可升进。故依法慧菩萨赞显也。将说十住法时。十方十慧菩萨。各从因陀罗华等十华世界。与刹尘菩萨来集。其菩萨众。各于十月佛所净修梵行。表十住法。依智起慧为因。复成智月之果。得是果法。则无明顿彻。烦恼顿除。清凉如月。其佛表果。菩萨表因。亦如十信因果同彰也。十华世界。即所修法门。要即因华开敷智果也。经云。尔时十慧菩萨。说偈赞佛已。法慧菩萨即入无量方便三昧。十方各千佛刹微尘数佛。同名法慧。普现其前。赞叹加被。论谓众生具有如来法身智慧。为迷缘自障。凡能修方便三昧以显之。则与诸佛法身智慧冥会。是故同名之佛普现其前也。

三十住品。正说十住名义。示当位所行之行。一发心住者。创依正智。发菩提心也。二治地住者。为利众生。开扩心地也。三修行住。善观诸法。增正行也。四生贵住。由尊贵行。生佛法家也。五方便具足住。带真随俗。沤和适化也。六正心住。逢善恶境。心不动也。七不退住。趣正妙道。缘不坏也。八童真住含真抱一。智行无失也。九法王子住。得法王法。当绍佛位也。十灌顶住。成就十智。即当成佛。如王太子陈列灌顶也。十住之文。一住各成就十法。示当位之行。又各劝学十法。示位位增胜。其十段结文。各云有所闻法。即自开解。不由他教。及设梵行品终。又云。若诸菩萨。能与如是观行相应。一切佛法海。俱得现前。初发心时。即得菩提。知一切法。即心自性。成就慧身。不由他悟。凡欲明进固有之德。使不外求也。（此品与前二品共一卷）

四梵行品。明十住中。观察身。身业。语。语业。意。意业。佛。法。僧。戒。等十法。于中何者为梵行。知身等三业。及佛法僧戒中有作有为之法。皆非梵行。则于身无所取。于修无所著。于法无所住。于梵行亦无所名。心无障碍。方便自在。如是名为清净梵行。又举如来十种智力。令当位修习。为成就慧身之法。

五发心功德品。明修十住法。所得功德。不可称量。经举十余喻。重重比较。不及少分。为其发心。功齐果海。无限齐故。（此品与前梵行品共一卷）

六明法品。乃精进慧菩萨。问法慧菩萨。当位升进之行。令转更明白。为十行之因。故继此说十行法。（此品计一卷）

十行者。既依普智发信。住佛所住。遂能繁兴万行。自利利人。故说十行。十行法门。即第四会在夜摩天说四品。一升夜摩天品。二夜摩偈赞品。三十行品。四无尽藏品。

一升夜摩天品者。须夜摩。此云善时分。为空居天。无日月而常明。以莲华开合分昼夜。故曰善时分。于此说十行者。表行依法空。无所滞著。而善应时宜也。此品明从十住升进。及叙夜摩天王化座迎佛之事。夜摩天王请佛。说十偈赞。亦称十如来曾入此殿。显今所入十行理智。与古不异也。

二夜摩偈赞品。即功德林等十菩萨。赞显当位之法。劝示升进。以积行在躬。其德广荫。故以功德林菩萨赞显也。将说十行法时。十方十林菩萨。各从亲慧梵慧等十慧世界。与刹尘菩萨来集。其菩萨众。各于十眼佛所净修梵行。表此位从慧起行。覆荫摄化故。菩萨众以林为名。表妙行广荫也。此位已得如来智慧之眼。其佛以眼为名。表智眼利生也。此亦因十行所行因行示法。欲行人法之也。（此二品与十行品上卷共一卷）

四无尽藏品。说信。戒。惭。愧。闻。施。慧。念。持。辩。十种藏。前七名七圣财。以二守护。后一积而能散。又前九蕴积。后一出生。一一行量。体含法界。德用不穷。故名为藏。以此成前十行之法。使行行无尽。成后十向之法。使升进无尽。故继此说十回向法。（此品计一卷）

十回向者。前十住十行。出俗心多。大悲行劣。至此则以十住所得诸佛之智。十行所行出世之行。济以悲愿。处俗利生。回真向俗。回智向悲。使真俗圆融智悲不二。而回向菩提实际。总通五位。利被一切。是名回向。智断恩德。由此具足。法报化身。由此成就也。十回向法门。即第五会兜率天说。有三品。一升兜率天品。二兜率偈赞品。三十回向品。

初升兜率天品者。兜率。此云知足。此天不离欲界。而于欲境无所染著。故名知足。此天居欲界五天之中。于此说十回向者。表回真向俗。回智向悲。虽涉尘劳。无所染著。常处中道。无所遍滞也。此品明从十行升进。及叙兜率天王敷座迎佛之事。经云。兜率天王于其殿上。敷摩尼宝座。有百万亿层级。其诸庄严供养之具。各百万亿。有十信十住等菩萨。亦百万亿才见此座。各获法利。表回向法。总通五位。圆融无尽也。十住法座。有百千层级。十行有百万。十向有百万亿。皆表升进。位位增胜也。盖自十住至此。智行悲愿已全。菩萨道法已备。虽后二位。不出此法藏。兹总通而回向一切。则功利德用。圆融无尽。故凡事法。各百万亿也。兜率天王请佛。亦说十偈。举十如来。曾入此殿。论谓此明诸佛道迹。本自周遍。古今不异也。（此品计一卷）

二兜率偈赞品。即金刚幢等十菩萨。赞显当位之法。劝示升进。表此位智悲利生。破惑摧邪而自无倾动。故以金刚幢赞显也。（此品与回向品初卷共一卷）

三十回向品。正说十向名义。示当位所行之行。一救生离相者。大悲广济。大智无著也。二不坏回向者。于三宝等。得不坏信也。三等一切佛者。学三世佛所修回向也。四至一切处者。悲愿事行。称周法界也。五无尽功德藏者。缘无尽境。成无尽功。得无尽果也。六随顺坚固者。善行常随坚固平等法性。则一切善根悉坚固也。七等顺众生者。以平等心。随物饶益也。八真如相者。体真行慈。无有作相也。九无著无缚解脱者。不于见著。不为相缚。作用自在也。十法界无量者。称性起用。超过诸量也。此回向法。以大愿力。融会智悲生死涅槃。成一法界真自在法。作后二位果德之基。融前三位成十地行。故继此说十地法。（此品计十一卷）

十地者。蕴积前法。至于成实。一切佛法依此发生。故谓之地。经云。趣入菩萨诸地行。一切佛法所从生。十地法门。即第六会他化天说一品。他化天。乃欲界之顶。依此说十地者。表十地之行。依众生应化。无自化也。盖前为三贤。犹为自利。此为十圣。纯是利他。故无自化。此地以普光明智为体。所谓已践如来普光明地。前四位虽不离此体。但蕴积之功未全。不得名地。此则通初彻末。功行已全。即前四位融为一法。故名诸佛智地。自此至十一地。更无别法。论云。此十地法。通初彻末。为一际法门。此诸菩萨。皆当会云集之众。金刚藏为上首。承佛神力。为众说十地名已。不解其义。示诸佛智地法。不轻授也。时解脱月。与众菩萨。殷勤三请。然后乃说。故曰请法主伴。此众。初三十七位同名为藏。独后一位名解脱月者。表此位依金刚智。蕴积前法。加以三十七道品。助令充实广大具足。名藏。至获满果。名解脱月也。经于诸地多云。菩萨住此地已。以大愿力。得见多佛。所谓见多百佛。多千佛。乃至多百千亿那由他佛。悉以深心敬事供养。此乃功依地满。智以愿圆。能于佛境互参遍彻。故得见如是多佛。承事供养。刚藏身中现出智佛者。经至法云地。说此地菩萨种种无量神通智力。大众皆疑。于是金刚藏菩萨。入一切佛国体性三昧。时会皆见自身。在刚藏身中。又见其中菩提树师子座上。有佛号一切智通王。诸相庄严。说不能尽。论云。一切佛国体性。即无作法性身也。菩提树即法性中觉体。智通王即法性中妙智也。人人本具。唯不自加行显发耳。愚谓行人。苟自显发。不独不疑十地菩萨神通智力。足知华严所诠一切佛德。皆吾性之常分也。刹尘同名等者。刚藏菩萨说十地已。十方各十佛刹尘菩萨。同名金刚藏。从金刚幢所。来为作证。表此地行法。十方同道。皆智地果。摧伏一切。而自体无动也。（此品计六卷）

十一地者。即等觉位也。超出十地。名十一地。即第七会三禅天说一品。以初禅离忧。二禅灭苦。三禅惟是法悦妙乐。依此说十一地者。表进修功成。迥超诸苦。常享法乐也。其品名佛华。其文未来。谓之佛华者。初登佛地。果行未满故也。盖华对果言。故继此说佛果行也。（此品梵文未来）

约五位至此。答前所问者。十住。答菩萨智海也。十行。菩萨行海也。十向。菩萨誓愿海也。十地。菩萨地海也。十一地。菩萨出离海也。所谓菩萨波罗蜜。菩萨神通。菩萨乘。菩萨助道等海。皆备于此。次自十定。至寿量。不思议。普贤行。十一品。答佛寿量海。佛变化海。佛解脱海。而所答尽矣。后法界品。圆彰重谕五位因果。则三十七答。亦依前圆彰重谕也。

夫说五位之法。始于忉利。终于三禅。诸天延佛。始于置座。终于敷座者。以住于佛住。亦未离乎住。故十住之法。于地居之天。忉利说之。其座则安置。而未至于化也。行行皆真。超然绝俗。故十行之法。于空居之天。夜摩说之。其座则化之。而未至于敷也。真则自利。非所以利他。化则依空。非所以入有。必须回真入俗。运智行悲。使上可超乎欲境。下可同乎万物。故十回向法。于五天之中。兜率说之。其座则敷而布之。不止于能置能化而已。自是蕴功成实。广博如地。妙用发越。不依渐次。故十地之法。越化乐。而于他化天说之。过此则入等觉位。迥超诸苦。常享法乐。故十一地法。越二禅。而于三禅天说。其表法言意。一字不虚。五位功圆。佛果现前等者。论科此为等觉地。以住行向地。位分贤圣。行有浅深。其功未圆。其觉未等。虽曰登地。是菩萨果。非佛果也。兼前四法。进入此位。乃圆乃等。而佛果可得矣。继此说佛果位也。

佛果行者。妙觉位也。自十信初因。历五位法。修治惑习。习尽智明。乃依此行。以成佛果。即第八会普光殿说。有十一品。乃十定。十通。十忍。阿僧祇。如来寿量。菩萨住处。不思议法。十身相海。随好功德。普贤行。如来出现品。是也。清凉谓前六品。明等觉因圆。后五品。明妙觉果满。十信因行。与此果行。皆依普光殿说者。示修华严行。初依普光本智起信。而历位升进。至行周果满。未尝离于本智也。此则因果不移。本始不二。三世一念。初后不迁。乃与不动智佛相应。而证不灭不生法界极果。实华严大旨也。

初十定品。示生佛共有根本智体。为寂用之源。唯果佛能尽其妙。德用无涯。寄圆显十耳。一普光大定。二妙光大定。三遍往佛国大定。四清净深心大定。五知过去庄严藏大定。六智光明藏大定。七了一切佛庄严大定。八众生差别身大定。九法界自在大定。十无碍轮大定。谓十定者。古今诸佛寂用自在遍周之大体。所以参融五位。成一法体。无始无终。不迁不动。一多纯杂。同别自在。故佛将说十定之名。先于普光殿入刹那际三昧。明此定体。全即普光智体。无复古今延促始终迁动之相。皆顿圆于一弹指顷。故云刹那际三昧。得是三昧者。皆可与毗卢同行。寂用自在矣。此即生佛共有本智之体。寂用之源也。此品佛自说十定名。令普贤说十定用。明佛为根本智体。普贤为差别智用。二者相资。乃能寂用自在也。此众有一百位。前三十位同名为慧。后七十各异名者。论以三十表三解脱。七十表七觉行。谓此位菩萨。依三解脱慧。而行七觉行。觉利群生。其慧则同。其行则异。然三空七觉。为进修初行。而施于果位者。此圣人俯己同物之行也。故此品云。摩尼珠王。能随所求。与物同色。而不失自珠之德。喻得果宝王。随机利生。俯同群物。而不失自果之德也。（此品计四卷）

次十通品。示从定起用。十种智通。一他心通。二天眼通。三宿命。四知未来。五天耳。六往一切刹。七善别言辞。八无数色身。九达一切法。十入一切灭尽三昧。此即开六通成十通也。天眼。天耳。神足。漏尽。各分二。他心。宿命。不分也。天眼即二四。二约现在。四约未来也。天耳即五七。五约善闻。七约善别也。神足即六八。六约力用。八约现身也。漏尽即九十。九约智中漏尽。十约定中漏尽也。此皆以无障碍大智为体。非小圣所及也。此继十定品。明从定起用。故有此十种智通也。

次十忍品。示方便摄化。随行法忍。果行至此满矣。以通成忍。果行满终等者。论云。十地已前。以忍成通。十一地后。以通成忍。前即随位进修之伏忍。此即随行利生之法忍。果行至此。为普贤行满。纯是妙觉如来。而不舍菩萨方便。故曰果行满终。妙觉菩萨行。法忍者。经云。菩萨有如响忍。如影忍。如化如空等十忍。谓以通事利生。实非同异。譬如谷响。从缘所起。而与法性无违无杂。又如日光影现一切。在油非油。在水非水。于川不漂。于井不没。不异一体。而有彼此。不随于物。而有远近。菩萨于无二法中。分别二相。善巧通达。随行法忍。皆如是也。此前后数品。无菩萨号。乃取经意补之。（此品与前十通品共一卷）

次阿僧祇品。及随好功德品。明佛果所迷二愚之法。所谓广大算数愚。随好功德愚。此二唯佛明达。菩萨尚愚于此。故四十品经。唯此二品是佛自说。余皆当位菩萨所说。所以明广大算数者。为彰佛德非数量可尽也。故长行中。辨能数之数无量。偈颂中。辨所数之德无边也。则僧祇品。明遍一切数。寿量品。明穷一切时。住处品。明遍一切处也。论阿僧祇。此云无数。此品皆举不可数不可说法。而经云。如是三世无有边。一切菩萨皆明现。此与随好功德品。明佛果所迷二愚之法。菩萨尚愚于此。唯佛明达。故曰佛地法门。此品因心王菩萨请问发起。自此至如来出现品。明佛果三业二智广大自在。此则以通成忍。致心业广大自在如王。故依心王菩萨发起也。

次寿量品。明佛地实报。称性之寿。穷刹海无尽时分。而出数域之表也。赞云。以日等劫。无灭无生等者。经云。尔时心王菩萨。于众告言。此娑婆世界。释迦佛刹一劫。于极乐世界。弥陀佛刹。为一昼夜。极乐一劫。于袈裟幢世界。金刚坚佛刹。为一昼夜。如是举十世界。各以前位一劫。为后位一昼夜。而经云。如是次第过百万僧祇世界。最后世界一劫。皆如前刹为一昼夜。普贤同行诸大菩萨。充满其中。意明佛地实报。称性之寿无尽。根本智无生灭。此由心业广大自在。以致命业广大自在也。

次菩萨住处品。示无方摄化。不舍世间。故举八方。若山若海。皆有圣居。无所不遍也。赞云摄化无方等者。尔时心王菩萨。于众告言。东方有处。名仙人山。从昔菩萨。于中止住。现有菩萨。名金刚胜。与菩萨众。常在其中说法。南方有处。名胜峰山。西方有处名金焰山。以至北方香积山。东北方清凉山。海中金刚山。东南支提山。西南光明山。西北香风山。计九处。皆如上举。后又广举。成二十二处。唯此九处有菩萨名。此依一阎浮提略示耳。菩萨住处实遍法界。无有方所。论云。此明佛菩萨行。周遍扬化。常行不断。不舍世间。此由命业广大自在。以致行业广大自在。命业行业。皆本于心。故皆心王菩萨所说。清凉山。即今五台山是也。（此品与前二品共一卷）

次普贤行品。明佛行海。融前智门。广施利行。赞云融前智门等者。此品广陈普贤行法。融前果智。为八尘利物。诸佛同行如来果行。至此极矣。故继此说如来出现品。次普幢佛者。尔时普贤说是法已。十方刹尘菩萨同名普贤。各从普胜世界。普幢自在佛所。来诣此土作证。表佛普贤行之体用。以处道谦柔为普胜。摧伏自他为普幢。理智悲愿具足随缘为自在。升进位极。冥造此道。为来诣此土。如是作证。表佛普贤行遍一切处。十方同道。无二无尽也。（此品计一卷）

次如来出现品。初如来性起妙德菩萨者。此即信首文殊异号。于此请问如来出现之法。示从十信依智进修。至此世出世间智悲行满。则本智如来。从自性起。妙德圆具。故以如来性起妙德菩萨。请问如来出现之法。此与前品。融会三业二智之成功。广大自在也。又赞云自性如来法雨所润等者。经说如来出现。有十种无量利行之相。至音声第十相云。如来欲以正法教化众生。先布身云。弥覆法界。示现种种光明电光。出生无量三昧雷声。从无碍悲心。起大智风轮。然后于法身云。广雨法雨。所谓为坐道场菩萨。雨法界无差别法雨。为最后身菩萨。雨游戏如来秘密教法雨。乃至为求独觉乘者。雨深知缘起。远离二边。不坏解脱法雨。为求声闻乘者。雨以智慧剑。断烦恼冤法雨。余不胜举。皆明自性如来功圆智现。无作无限自在利行也。

次二位授记成佛众者。普贤菩萨说如来出现法已。十方刹尘如来。同名普贤。来为作证。复作是言。今此会中。十方刹尘菩萨。得一切菩萨神通三昧。我皆与记一生当得菩提。又有刹尘众生发菩提心。我亦与记当来经不可说刹尘数劫。皆得成佛。号殊胜境界。此明自既修行得果。此所化众亦当得果。于菩萨言一生。以根机已熟。超达之易。于众生言尘劫。以积迷之久。超达之难。特对机言耳。于实性中。古今一时。三际一念。则以刹那顿证为一生。又以刹那三昧。显出如来正智慧海。则无边劫迷。一时顿灭。为经不可说劫。皆得成佛。号殊胜境界者。迥出情计之境故也。夫始于文殊发信。历位进修。至十一地。佛果既成。又自本有定体。从定起用。随行成忍。通达二愚。享实报寿。无方摄化。不舍世间。成不思之智。获十身之报。又以普贤大行。圆融广利。则自性如来之德。于是明极昔为妄覆。至此乃现。故终说如来出现品。总该果行。又说离世间品。明果后利生之常道。而通为设法治习修证分也。（此品计三卷）

清凉科前三十一品。为修因契果生解分。离世间一品。为托法进修成行分。上释三周中第二周法竟。

第三周。第十会入法界一品。善财南游。重谕五位因果。为去言依行圆彰法界分者。前则诠示法门。此欲体而行之。故依善财重谕。又由前修功终。忘诠顿证。入此法门。故为去言依行。此品之文。自因推广。则示善财百城。自果反约。则示弥勒楼阁。而五位行门。法界理事。目击而尽。是谓圆彰法界。依此证入。故名入法界品。即最后逝多林给孤园所说。此林园。即西域人间。于此说法界品者。示不离人间即佛法界也。法界会上来集之众。皆默示神变以彰果行。在会之众。因其默示。亦皆默得三昧。即去言依行之意也。盖滞诠则终迷已证。无行则终成狂解。故于最后别设去言依行法门。托善财南游之迹。还位不废进修。作法垂范。使人仿效。盖得是道后。正可修行。安然顺流。以入佛法界妙庄严海。而惑者。徒执去言之名。迷依行之实。遽以绝学无为为是。以真修正趣为非。终自诃教忘修。佚荡无据。则华严实谈。称性行法。皆为虚设。而拨无之狐。逐块之类。纷纷天下矣。学者慎思。

清凉科此一品。为依人证入成德分。上释第三周法竟。

大科二种常道。

一同尘不染利生常道者。即进修者五位功成。果后常行也。楞严谓初心修行。如澄浊水。静深不动。沙土自沈。此名初伏客尘烦恼。去泥纯水。名为永断根本无明。今五位未终。功行未成。如沙土虽沈。搅之则浊。未可以同尘也。及乎功成行满。如去泥纯水。一任搅淘。无复染浊。故于进修功终。然后示同尘不染利生常道。此功成菩萨。运普贤行。入□利生。无作无止。无意无我。一切平常自在之行。故名常道。即第九会普光殿说离世间品。此品继如来出现品。亦于普光殿说者。示五位功成。自性如来出现。还依普光本智利生。而处世无染。故名离世间品。凡夫染世。不能出离。二乘虽离。不能随顺。非是真离。今明果行。悲能随世。智能不染。故常在世间。未始不离。曾无净见。何况染相。随离双泯。方为真离世间也。文中普慧云兴二百问。普贤瓶泻二千酬。皆明此也。

次赞云利生常行安住十法常见十佛者。此普慧二百问中。问何等为演说佛。何等为见佛。普贤答云。菩萨常说十佛。所谓成正觉佛。无著见。愿佛。出生见。业报佛。深信见。住持佛。随顺见。涅槃佛。深入见。法界佛。普至见。心佛。安住见。三昧佛。无量无依见。本性佛。明了见。随乐佛。普授见。若菩萨安住此法。则常得见无上如来。意谓于正觉无著。于悲愿出生。于业报生信。于住持随顺。于涅槃深入。于法界普至。于心安住。于三昧无依。于本性明了。于随乐普授。随乐者。随机所乐而应之也。能安此法。则无所说而非佛。无所见而非佛也。故曰常说十佛。常见十佛也。（此离世间品计七卷）

圆彰重谕。注科分五。

初圆彰行境众。赞云忘诠顿证一念圆该者。此法界会上初集之众。表五位法而不分五位。意显忘前言诠。顿证行境。一念圆该。无复渐次也。

二同会请法众。赞云永出有海五百声闻者。此法界会上。示现声闻与菩萨世主。同请当品之法。即舍利弗等。名列在后。经叹德云。永出有海。住无碍处。于佛智海。深信趣入。又赞云常利众生无量世主者。经叹德云。常利众生。为不请友。即大权菩萨。示为世主也。

三十方来集众。赞云默示佛果等者。前众既集。请问如来境智十种法门。尔时世尊以大悲方便。入师子频申三昧。一切世间。普皆严净。十方各一菩萨。各从一佛界来。各现无尽法门。初东方毗卢胜德王佛众中。有菩萨名毗卢愿光明。终至上方普智轮光音佛众中。有菩萨名法界差别愿。各与刹尘菩萨俱来。各兴种种佛事供养。或陈楼阁庄严。或陈宝地庄严。或陈身相庄严。乃至现三世诸佛一切行海。悉遍法界。此默示法界佛果本行。答前所问也。所以默示者。欲令去前言诠。默造行境故也。师子频申者。自在无畏。适然动容之貌。喻此三昧。依无作智。自在无为。而适然示现广大德用也。

四示现显法众。赞云深入智海示等迷流等者。此声闻众。因前默示法门。虽在同会。皆不能见。然前叹德云。于佛智海。深信趣入。岂实迷流。盖示同不见。以显行境不可思议。摄诸小乘。使同趣入故也。

五默契行境众。赞云蒙佛光照不藉言诠等者。声闻既迷行境。世尊欲令菩萨安住师子频申三昧。放眉间毫光。名普照三世法界门。时众因此。悉见刹海种种名色。及佛菩萨种种应现。遂皆入此三昧。亦能种种广现。入不可说佛神变海。斯皆不藉言诠。默契行境也。论指已上。为答前所问法门竟。是一部经始终圆满法界之体。以下托迹重谕。又广明行境也。

二忘修绝证佛果常道者。此返本还源天成之德。妙觉位上无功用道也。二道则一。但前示修证。此示无修。前为学者之事。此为诸佛之事。即第十会入法界品。总融前位因果智行成一法界。谓之无功大用圆融自在之门。所托善财南游。始于古佛道场。遍历百城知识。终于圆契弥勒文殊普贤之道。意在总括三世佛境因果。为一时一际一真法界。以显人人本有妙德。一切具足。圆融自在。故为忘修绝证佛果常道也。夫百轴之经。五位之法。治习进修。俯为明此本有之德。盖修行者。未发心时。无明正使。习气烦恼。障蔽本智。故用五位之法。重重炼治。始得明极。既明极矣。不假修为。譬如磨镜。垢尽明现。则功用止矣。故于最后说忘修绝证之道而终焉。然法界一品耳。于前判为去言依行。于此判为忘修绝证者。此品总成前法。理无不备。但随所成之意判之。以三周因果。托言以明。欲忘诠顿证。故成之以去言依行。二种常道。因修而证。欲返本还源。故成之以忘修绝证。绪有深浅。意有攸当。非相违也。总而会之。前三十八品。自众集标宗。举果发信。以历五位。证二觉。而卒于同尘不染利生常道。此始自凡夫。终至成佛。修行证果之真范也。最后一品。去言依行忘修绝证者。直使扫心言之滞迹。复德用之大全。廓尔忘缘。超然自得。为一经之统要。实至道之渊源。校于前文。彼如百川。此如大海。苟造乎此。则向之浅深源流同异畛域。皆□然不可得矣。此华藏教海之臻极也。且托迹重谕。即善财南游之迹。依前法体。重明一藏之意。所以重明者。前则诠示法门。此欲体而行之故也。体之之要。在于默得。不涉言诠。故诸位知识表法。多见于动容之间。如十住。德云比丘于别山徐步经行。以示寂用不二。十行。善见比丘于林中经行。以示妙行无住。十向。鬻香长者和合诸香。示智悲圆融。十地。主当春生夜神女身。示长养大悲。十一地。摩耶夫人幻生成佛。示悲终智现。而卒于弥勒楼阁。一弹指间。顿示十方法界无尽事相。从微至著。皆欲默体。不涉言诠。虽就中有言。特绪余耳。盖言可以诠道。终不能尽道。故孔氏曰。言不尽意。立象以尽之。而祖师犹以为未也。于是拨去名言色象。而独得于拈槌举拂之际。方是之时。语默色象诠示不及。乃为至矣尽矣。凡游五十三知识法门。当如是入。科又分五。

初创行启蒙众。赞云自根本智发觉初心者。此赞文殊方便之德也。经云。尔时文殊童子。从善住阁出。与无量同行菩萨。及常随侍神天八部。诣佛作礼。辞退南行。往于人间。论谓表从法身本智。起差别智。就俗利生。创行启蒙。此乃行门信位。为法界诸佛发行之始。法身本智发觉之初。故文殊于此。改称童子。表童蒙初心。自此发觉也。然前信位。以文殊为信首。而称菩萨。此信位。以文殊为启蒙。而称童子者。前为进修之门。欲由心生解。自因趣果。此为造悟之门。欲解终趣行。自蒙发觉。悟修异位。故先后异称。然于智体初无异也。

二随行发心众。赞云观察妙行发菩提心等者。文殊南游时。六千声闻愿随文殊。时舍利弗于道中。令海觉等诸比丘。观察文殊种种妙德。文殊即劝之发菩提心。住普贤行。即时具足一切佛法。此同进修门。初发心时。便成正觉也。

三顿捐业识众。赞云智光普照。业识顿捐。回向行门等者。经云。尔时文殊劝诸比丘发菩提心已。至觉城东古佛塔庙处。说普照法界修多罗。时大海中。有无量百千亿龙。来闻法已。深厌龙趣。咸舍龙身。生人天中。一万诸龙。于无上菩提。得不退转。意表依法界行。启蒙发心。又承智光法门一照。则出生死海。顿捐业识。故大海诸龙。来闻法已。咸舍龙身。又一万诸龙发菩提心。表发觉捐业。即能回向万行之门。故次有由觉趣行之众。

四由觉趣行众。赞云即俗明真等者。时福城人。闻文殊在庄严幢娑罗林大塔庙处。四众各五百人。出城来诣。福城即觉城。庄严幢即行境。四众出城来诣。表由觉趣行也。四众皆俗士女。表即俗明真也。各五百人。表圆彰五位也。次善财赞云依功德藏示果彰因等者。善财生时。家有自然七宝伏藏。五百宝器。众宝盈满。一切库藏。财物充实。因号善财。论云。此从先世信种。信佛五位行门。感此报生。故文殊赞云。善哉功德藏。谓依先世功德藏。显此伏藏也。又云迹南游。遍参知识。是依功德藏。示果彰因。发五位行。利被群生也。

五依行升进众。即善财遍参五十三知识法门。五十。表五位各十波罗蜜。三。即文殊普贤弥勒。为五位中智行因果。各遍五位一一法中为体用也。余见科注。科又分六。

初。十住知识。赞云从信趣定。会理契真者。论科此为以定会理契真门。以前优婆塞等。即俗流纯信者。童子童女。即信本末杂者。又善财依先世信种。彰功德藏。通表信位。

善财于此。初见妙峰山。德云比丘。是表从信趣定。会理契真也。山表定体。比丘表真体。德云能雨法雨。表出世利行。善财蒙文殊指南。登妙峰山。周迥观察。见德云在别山徐步经行。示不住定乱。令修道者。发信之后。须依定起观。定乱双融。身边见谢。然后契真见道。见道之后。方可起行修行。入十行位也。

八毗目瞿沙。此云出声可畏。仙人。表不滞真俗。谓无功智明。言论无滞。善伏邪异。故曰出声可畏。

九胜热婆罗门。表得法自在。示同外道。令诸邪途。摄伏烦恼。故名胜热。

十慈行童女。乃师子幢王女。表从智生悲。处染不染。前第七婆夷。虽表大悲。而未断度生爱习。至此大悲行满。任运利生。无复染习。故以童女表之。

五位知识。唯初位正表当位之法。余皆智悲相济增进之行。未见经文。难为广释。今各略示修行纲要而已。大抵以行人未发心时。无明正使。习气烦恼。障蔽本智。使痴迷不觉。沦坠恶道。故今依自心普光明智发信。进入十住。契佛真智。名为见道。真智既明。无明始谢。然习气尚存。根未成熟。故用五位重重逆顺。炼磨习气。开扩正见。增修福慧。名为修道。习气既尽。本智洞圆。如净长空。廓无纤翳。大慈之日。普照群幽。大悲之月。清凉有海。众行万德靡所不具。名为证果。此华严之尽道。诸佛之能事也。若直求一解脱出世之果。即二乘小道。无以圆成一切种智。是故五十三知识。备设一切法门。而善财示迹遍历。以引发行人。使于一切境上。炼治开扩。伏心忍性。增益其所不能。而共圆种智之果。实曲成万物之大范也。惟行人则之。

次解脱见佛者。此第五住知识。示善财法门。入如来无碍庄严解脱门。于自身中。现无尽佛刹诸庄严事。随意能见十方诸佛菩萨。意明即俗身相含佛刹也。

次释自十圣登等妙。初等觉位。

第五。十一地知识。赞云悲终智现。法界体圆者。论科此为悲终起智成佛门。以十地已前。犹依本智长养大悲。此十一地。长养功终。纯是大悲。为法界体。与智圆现。故此初位。以佛母摩耶表法。示纯悲之体。圆现智佛。随应利生也。二、天主光。乃正念王女。表十一地无念智中。无染慈悲。无为照用。三、遍友童子。乃众艺童子之师。表遍周十方。为世师范。四、众艺童子。能助明遍友法门。表以德艺附赞成化。五、贤胜优婆夷。世间正邪吉凶。医方众术。一切通达。表安物养生。无法不了。无行不行。无生不济。实广大之慈悲。故号贤胜。六、坚固解脱。表一切无著诸功德行。以广修功德。而念自无著。名坚固解脱。七、妙月长者。表悲智圆满。破世昏惑。八、无胜军长者。得无尽相解脱。明一切心境。总如来相。幻生诸行。能胜一切无明生死邪见魔军。九、法聚落寂静婆罗门。表于法界聚落嚣喧万境。示真寂法。十、德生童子。有德童女。表智悲齐满。处世幻住。自云。我等二人。证得菩萨幻住解脱。明十一地终。证妙觉智。照了心境。廓绝纤尘。净法界中。唯一真智。以随智用。幻生一切。若佛境众生境。悉皆依智幻住。世间万法。性本自离。不独有为如梦幻体。虽智果报生皆幻住也。故经云。我得幻住解脱。见一切世界皆幻住因缘所生。一切众生皆幻住业力所起。乃至一切菩萨皆幻住行愿所成。如是照了。则凡圣一体。物我同源。法法圆融。尘尘不碍。十方瞩目。无可当情。是中返观。不容他物。皆幻住也。以幻住故。随智用故。无边刹海。德用遍周。十方身土。境相相入。非一非异。无始无终。周法界而无去来。历尘劫而非顷久。以至备极华严一切德用。圆融自在。非假他术。为得幻住法门故也。以是证得诸幻灭影象故明见慈氏庄严楼阁。佛境法门。而圆契果法矣。

次三位。皆善财因之得见摩耶。经云。尔时善财。欲见摩耶。时宝眼主城神。空中现身。教善财守护心城。庄严心城。乃至莹彻心城。富实心城。以积集一切善法。蠲除一切障难。便得见善知识。究竟成佛。又有莲华德身众神。赞叹摩耶。即放无量光。令善财得净光明眼。永离痴闇。乃至得普见眼。睹一切刹诸佛出兴。又有守护法堂神。于空告言。菩萨成就十法。及十三昧。则得亲善知识。其十法。始于其心清净离诸谄诳。终于彻鉴诸法顺善知识。其三昧。始于法空清净轮。终于善知无有过失。皆表入十一地之方便也。夫能守护心城。使莹彻富实。又得净眼普见。及心离谄诳。行无过失。则菩萨之行足矣。故可入十一地也。次从师子佛已下。乃至经举多佛。末云如是乃至楼至如来。在贤劫中。于此三千大千世界当成佛者。摩耶悉为其母。于此大千如是。于无量世界海亦复如是。盖摩耶表十一地。总会理智大悲三法为体。一切诸佛。皆自三法而生故也。后二位者。毗卢如来昔为大威德轮王。摩耶昔为慈德道场神。有离垢幢菩萨将成正觉。有恶魔至。其轮王化兵拥护。菩萨遂得成道。慈德喜敬彼王。而生子想。向佛发愿。愿此轮王。在在处处。乃至成佛。我常得为其母。以是因缘。今为佛母也。上释等觉位终。

次妙觉位。

第六。圆契果法众。赞云迥超果位。不间初因等者。十一地终。德生令善财见弥勒。表超等觉位。证妙觉果。弥勒又令善财还见文殊。表至果同因。本始不二。则虽迥超。实无间异也。尔时善财。复因文殊。得见普贤。遂具足普贤诸愿行海。与普贤等。与诸佛等。合此三位。为一切诸佛圆极果法。寂用常然之行。故科名圆契果法。而赞云寂用常然。此则二种常道中。忘修绝证佛果常道也。夫弥勒文殊普贤。虽古佛圣号。人人莫不具足。于人求之。弥勒者何。自性根本智果也。文殊者何。自性普光智体也。普贤者何。自性差别智用也。三者本自一体会合。于众生如来藏中。随情转变。化为异物。大圣愍焉。将以治其情。复其变。故依根本智果。普光智体。起差别智用。设法治习。及乎习尽智明。功终悲满。则三者本体。无为无作。脱然圆现。故于五十位后。独立此三。示修华严者。功终行满。皆能于自性中证此三果。不从他得。此则返本还源之正位。忘修绝证之极果。毗卢之垂教。善财之引发。皆欲人人造极于此。凡诸行人。当务企及。庶不负先圣垂教引发之深慈也。余有数位。非表法所急。恐杂教意。故不复立。（此入法界品计二十一卷）

五悔解

普贤行愿品云。若欲成就如来无尽功德。应修十种广大行愿。其中即五悔法也。经云。若修此法。则能成熟一切众生。随顺无上菩提。成满普贤行海。五法能悔除五障。故名五悔。谓悔吝生动。人谁无过。唯证不动智者。可以无过也。然不动智体。为业尘积障。若欲证之。必须忏涤。然后明现。故五法以忏悔为先。尘销觉净。则心佛相应。故次用劝请诸佛说法利生也。既依佛法。当能随喜。所得福利。当能回向。因回向善。当发大愿。此则成熟众生。成就菩提。满普贤行。功用毕备。不动智佛。自此证矣。故普贤行愿。特设此法。而礼诵功终。必须遵修也。忏悔偈云。我观能照玻璃镜等者。随好光明品。诸天子问。云何悔除过恶。时有天鼓。以菩萨三昧力。发声告言。诸业从颠倒生。无有住处。随有修习。即受其报。譬如有玻璃镜。名曰能照。无边影象。悉现其中。而无去来迹。一切诸业。虽能出生善恶果报。无去来处。若如是知。是真忏悔。一切罪恶。悉皆清净。意明本觉妙明。物不能染。由倒心妄染之也。故倒心永灭。则一切清净。劝请偈。谓佛不远人。唯人以数取之惑。自背于佛。若能深求。则无时不现也。余三偈。皆采经意。前解可详。三归词。正净行品一百四十大愿之文。

Avatamsaka Sutra (The Flower Garland Sutra) http://www.buddhistinformation.com/ida_b_wells_memorial_sutra_library/avatamsaka_sut ra.htm Book One The Wonderful Adornments Of The Leaders Of The Worlds Thus have I heard: At one the time the Buddha was in the land of Magadha, in a state of purity, at the site of enlightenment, having just realized true awareness. The ground was solid and firm, made of diamond, adorned with exquisite jewel discs and myriad precious flowers, with pure clear crystals. The Ocean of Characteristics of the various colors appeared over an infinite extent. There were banners of precious stones, constantly emitting shining light and producing beautiful sounds. Nets of myriad gems and garlands of exquisitely scented flowers hung all around. The finest jewels appeared spontaneously, raining inexhaustible quantities of gemsand beautiful flowers all over the Earth. There were rows of jewel trees, their branches and foliage lustrous and luxuriant. By the Buddha’s spiritual power, he caused all the adornments of this enlightenment sight to be reflected therein. The tree of enlightenment was tall and outstanding. Its trunk was diamond, its main boughs were semi-precious stones, its branches and twigs were of various precious elements. The leaves, spreading in all directions, provided shade, like clouds. The precious blossoms were of various colors, the branching twigs spread out their shadows. Also, the fruits were jewels containing a blazing radiance. They were together with the flowers in great arrays. The entire circumference of the tree emanated light; within the light there rained precious stones, and within each gem were enlightened beings, in great hosts, like clouds, simultaneously appearing. Also, by virtue of the awesome spiritual power of the Buddha, the tree of enlightenment constantly gave forth sublime sounds speaking various truths without end. The Palace chamber in which the Buddha was situated was spacious and beautifully adorned. It extended throughout the ten directions. It was made of jewels of various colors and was decorated with all kinds of precious flowers. The various adornments emanated lights like clouds; the masses of their reflections from within the Palace formed banners. A boundless host of enlightening beings, the congregation at the site of enlightenment, were all gathered there: by means of the ability to manifest the lights and inconceivable sounds of the Buddhas, they fashioned nets of the finest jewels, from which came forth all the realms of action of the spiritual powers of the Buddhas, and in which were reflected images of the abodes of all beings. Also, by virtue of the aid of the spiritual power of the Buddha, they embraced the entire cosmos in a single thought. Their Lion Seats were high, wide, and beautiful. The bases were made of jewels, their nets of lotus blossoms, their tableaus of pure, exquisite gemstones. They were adorned with various flowers of all colors, their roofs, chambers, steps, and doors were adorned by the images of all things. The branches and fruits of jewel trees surrounded them, arrayed at intervals. Clouds of radiance of jewels reflected each other: the Buddhas of the ten directions conjured regal pearls, and the exquisite jewels in the topknots of all the enlightening beings all emanated light, which came and illuminated them. Furthermore, sustained by the spiritual power of all Buddhas, they expounded the vast perspective of the enlightened ones, their subtle tones extending afar, their being no place they did not reach. At that time, the Buddha, the world honored one, in this setting, attained to supreme, correct awareness of all things. His knowledge entered into all times with complete equanimity; his body filled all worlds; his voice universally accorded with all lands in the ten directions. Like space, which contains all forms, he made no discrimination among all objects. And, as space extends everywhere, he entered all lands with equanimity. His body forever sat omnipresent, in all sites of enlightenment. Among the host of enlightening beings, his awesome light shone clearly, like the sun emerging, illuminating the world. The Ocean of myriad virtues which he practiced in all times was thoroughly pure, and he constantly demonstrated the production of all the Buddha lands, their boundless forms and spheres of light extending throughout the entire cosmos equally and impartially. He expounded all truths, like spreading great clouds. Each of his hair tips was able to contain all worlds without interference, in each manifesting immeasurable spiritual powers, teaching and civilizing all sentient beings. His body extended throughout the ten directions, yet without coming or going. His knowledge entered into all forms and realized the emptiness of things. All the miraculous displays of the Buddhas of past, present, and future, were all seen in his light, and all the adornments of inconceivable eons were revealed. There were great enlightening beings, numerous as the atoms in Ten Buddha Worlds, surrounding him. There names were: Universally Good (Samantabahadra), Light of the Supreme Lamp of Universal Virtue, Lion Banner of Universal Light, Subtle Light of Flames of Universal Jewels, Banner of Oceans of Qualities of Universal Sounds, Realm of Enlightenment of Radiance of Universal Knowledge, Banner of Flowers of a topknot of Universal Jewels, Pleasing Voice of Universal Awareness, Light of Inexhaustible Virtue of Universal Purity, Mark of Universal Light, Great Brilliance of the Light of the Moon Reflected in the Ocean, Undefiled Treasury of Light of Oceans of Cloud-Like Sounds, Born of Wisdom and Adorned with Virtue, Great Light of Sovereign Virtue, Brave Lotus Topknot, Sun Banner of Clouds of Universal Knowledge, Greatly Persevering with Indestructible Courage, Light Banner of Fragrant Flames, Deep Beautiful Sound of Great Enlightened Virtue, Born of Wisdom with the Light of Great Virtue.

They entered into the matrix of the Cosmos, their knowledge was non-discriminatory; they experienced the liberation of the Buddhas, exceedingly deep and immensely vast. They were able to enter into one stage, according to technical expediency, yet maintain the virtues of all stages, supported by the ocean of all vows, always accompanied by wisdom, throughout the future. They had thoroughly comprehended the rarely attained, vast secret realm of all Buddhas. They were familiar with the equal teachings of all Buddhas; they were already treading the Buddha’s ground of universal light. They entered the doors of boundless oceans of concentrations. They manifested bodies in all places and participated in worldly activities. Their memory power was enormous, and they assembled the ocean of all the teachings. With intelligence, eloquence, and skill, they turned the wheel, which never turns back. The vast ocean of virtuous qualities of all Buddhas entered entirely into their bodies. They went willingly to all the lands in which there were Buddhas. They had already made offerings to all Buddhas, over boundless eons, joyfully and tirelessly. In all places, when the Buddhas attained enlightenment, they were always there, approaching them and associating with them, never giving up.

Their practices in accord with their vows had already reached fulfillment and they had reached the other shore. They had accumulated boundless pure good works. They had clearly arrived at all the realms of meditative absorption, and had attained spiritual powers. They dwelled wherever a Buddha was, and entered into the realm of inconceivable liberation; taking their place in the assembly, their dignified light stood out.

Banks of precious stones are the flowers, Reflections shining like patterned clouds; The encircling trees perfume all around: The enlightenment sites adorned everywhere. See in the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment Lotuses and Jewel Nets, all pure; Flames of light in whirls appear from here, Music of bells and chimes comes from the clouds. All the wonderfully adorned trees Existing in all lands Appear in the enlightenment tree; Buddha, beneath it, sheds all defilement. The site of enlightenment is made of vast blessings; The tree branches rain jewels without end. In the jewels appear enlightening beings, Going everywhere to serve the Buddhas. The realm of the Buddhas in inconceivable; They cause all the trees there to produce music-- In accord with the enlightened way developed by the Buddha, The host of beings, hearing the music can see it all. Then the great enlightening being Hundred Eyes Lotus Topknot, empowered by the Buddha, surveyed all the assemblies at the scene of enlightenment and said, All the jewels emit wondrous sounds Extolling the names of Buddhas of all times, The deeds of those Buddhas’ mystical powers Can all be viewed in this enlightenment scene. Flowers bloom in profusion, like parti-colored cloth; Clouds of light flow in all directions: The spirits of Enlightenment trees bring these to the Buddha, With single-minded devotion making offerings of them. Flames of jewel light all form banners; From the banners burst forth sublime fragrances, The fragrances perfuming all the congregations-- Therefore the place is all beautifully pure. Lotuses hang down, with light of golden hue, The light intoning clouds of Buddha’s wondrous voice Covering all the lands in all directions, Extinguishing the fires of sentient beings’ torments. The independent power of Enlightenment Tree King Constantly radiates light extremely pure; The assembled masses in the ten directions have no bounds, Yet all of them appear reflected in the enlightenment scene. The light flames of the jewel branches are like bright lamps; Their light emanates sound declaring the great vow-- What the Buddha practiced of yore in all states of being Is fully expounded therein. Under the tree are spirits, as many as atoms in the land, All staying together at this enlightenment site, Each before the Buddha’s enlightenment tree Continuously expounding the liberation doors. Buddha practiced many deeds of yore, Making offerings to all the enlightened: His practices as well as his fame All appear within the jewels. Everything in the scene produces wonderful sound-- The sound is vast, pervading the ten directions; If any beings can hear the teaching, It civilizes them and makes them pure. The Buddha in the past cultivated Infinite embellishments, all; All the adornments, innumerable kinds, Of every enlightenment tree. Then the great Enlightening Being Light Spheres of Golden Flames empowered by the Buddha, looked over all the assemblies at the scene of enlightenment and said, Buddha cultivated enlightening practices, Comprehending all things, Clarifying the true and the false; This is the Buddha’s first power of knowledge. As in the past he observed the nature of all things equally, He clarified the oceans of all doings: Thus now, in the nets of light He can tell it all throughout all quarters. In past eons he developed great techniques For guiding beings according to their faculties Causing all their minds to be pure; Thus was the Buddha able to perfect the knowledge of potentials. As the understanding of sentient beings is not the same, And their inclinations and actions are different, He teaches them according to their needs: Buddha can do this by his powers of knowledge. Comprehending the Oceans of Lands in all Directions, All the worlds of beings they contain, Buddha’s Knowledge is Equanimous, like space: All he can show within a pore. Buddha knows the outcome of all acts, Comprehending past, present, and future instantly; The Lands, Ages, Beings, and Times of all regions: All he can reveal and make clear. Meditation states, Liberations, and Powers are boundless, And so are trances and other techniques: Buddha shows them all to beings, gladdening them, Causing all to wash away the darkness of afflictions. Buddhas knowledge is unhindered, comprehending all times; All he shows in an instant, in his hair pores: The Buddha’s teachings, lands, and sentient beings: All these appear from his recollective power. Buddha’s Eye is as Vast as Space; He sees the entire cosmos. In the unimpeded state, with unequaled function, All Buddhas can tell of this eye. All sentient beings are totally bound; All their intoxications and habits Buddha causes to be removed by his methods, Appearing throughout the world. Then the great enlightening being Universal Sound of the Cosmos, empowered by the Buddha, looked over the assembled beings at the site of enlightenment and said, The Buddha’s awesome spiritual powers pervade the ten directions, Their grandiose displays making no discrimination; The transcendent means, enlightening practices Fulfilled in the past—all they show. Of old he conceived compassion for beings And practiced transcendent generosity, Wherefore his body is most sublime, Gladdening all who see. In boundless eons past He cultivated transcendent self-control, So acquired a pure body all-pervading, Extinguishing the various torments of the world. He cultivated patience and tolerance, pure, Faithful to truth, without discrimination; So his physical form is perfect, Shedding light in all directions. He strove for boundless eons past, Able to overthrow the barriers of sentient beings; Therefore he can emanate bodies in all directions, All appearing under enlightenment trees. Buddha practiced, for long, long eons, Oceans of meditations, all of them pure; Thus he delights his beholders, Removing all taint of afflictions. Buddha mastered the ocean of practices, Fulfilling transcendent wisdom; Therefore he sheds light illumining all, Destroying the darkness of ignorance. Edifying beings by various means He causes their practice to succeed; Traveling everywhere in the ten directions For endless eons, he never rests. Buddha practiced for boundless eons Purifying and mastering transcendent vows; Therefore he appears throughout the world Saving beings forever and ever. Buddha cultivated extensively for countless eons Transcendent power to deal with all truth; He has thus perfected natural power, Appearing throughout all truths. Buddha cultivated all sided knowledge; The nature of his omniscience is like space: Therefore he has unhindered power Illuminating all lands in the ten directions. Then the great enlightening being Cloud Sound Pure Moon empowered by the Buddha looked over all the beings gathered at the enlightenment site and said, The realm of his spiritual powers is equal to space No beings do not perceive them The stages he perfected in his past practice Are fully explained in the Jewels. Striving purely for countless eons He entered the first stage, that of extreme joy Producing the vast knowledge of the cosmos He saw countless Buddhas of the ten directions In the stage of purity amidst all things He observed standards of purity numerous as beings Having practiced extensively for many eons He served the boundless ocean of BuddhasAccumulating virtue in the stage of radiance His store of calm was firm and enduring The vast cloud of teachings he had already learned So it is told in the Gemstone Fruits. The incomparable stage of clear intellect like an ocean of flames Comprehending situations, he gave rise to compassion With an equal physical presence in all lands These accomplishments of the Buddha are all expounded. Universal Store of Equanimity—The difficult to conquer stageAccording with action and stillness, without contradiction The realm of the Buddhist Teaching is completely impartial How the Buddha Purified it, the jewels can tell. Far reaching practice—The stage of oceanic wisdom, Totally comprehending all aspects of the teachings, Appearing in all lands like space: The voice of these teachings comes from the trees. The body of space, pervading the cosmos, The lamp of wisdom, shining on all beings, All practical methods completely purified: His past long journey he causes to be told. Adorned by execution of all vows, Infinite oceans of lands are all pure; Undisturbed by any discrimination, This pear-less stage is fully explained Mystic powers of infinite scope Enter the illuminating power of the teachings; This pure stage of beneficent wisdom And it’s eons of practice are fully revealed. The Far Reaching tenth stage of clouds of teaching Engulfs everything, pervading all space; The realm of the Buddha is told in the voice This voice is the Buddha’s spiritual power Then the great enlightening being Banner of Light of Benevolent Courage, Empowered by the Buddha, surveyed the ten directions and said, Innumerable sentient beings are in the congregation; Their various minds of faith are all Pure; All can enter into understanding of Buddha’s Wisdom And understand all states which adorn it. Each initiates pure vows and puts them into practice; All have made offerings to innumerable beings They are able to see the real true body of Buddha As well as all his mystical displays. Some can see the Buddha’s reality body Incomparable, unhindered, pervading everywhere: The nature of all the infinity of things Is in that Body completely. Some see the Buddha’s sublime body of form Its boundless physical characteristics blazing with light; According to the different understandings of various beings It transforms into various appearances, everywhere. Some see the body of Unobstructed knowledge Equal in all times, like space; According to the changes in beings inclinations It causes them to see all kinds of differences. Some can understand the Buddhas voice Pervading all lands in the ten directions; According to sentient beings abilities to understand, It produces verbal sounds for them without any hindrance. Some see the Buddha’s various lights Variously shining throughout the world, And some see too in the Buddhas light, Buddhas displaying their mystic power. Some see Buddhas oceans of clouds of light Issuing from his pores of radiant hues Showing the paths he practiced of yore, Causing beings to deeply believe and enter Buddha’s knowledge. Some see the Buddha’s adorning marks and blessings And see where the blessings come from The oceans of transcendent means he practiced of old Are clearly seen in the Buddhas marks. Buddhas qualities cannot be measured: They fill the cosmos, without any bounds These and the ranges of psychic powers These beings can expound through Buddhas power. Then the ocean of worlds of arrays of flower banks, by the power of the Buddha, all shook in six ways, in eighteen manners: That is, they trembled, trembled all over, trembled all over in all directions; they welled up, welled up all over, welled up all over in all directions; they surged, surged all over, surged all over in all directions; they quaked, quaked all over, quaked all over in all directions; they roared, roared all over, roared all over in all directions; they crashed, crashed all over, crashed all over in all directions.
