Li Tongxuan was a renowned lay Buddhist of the Tang Dynasty, widely known as Elder Li. His work, *The Treatise on Dispelling Delusion, Revealing Wisdom, and Accomplishing Compassion in Ten Illuminations*, is a significant treatise of the Huayan school. Based on the *Avatamsaka Sutra*, this treatise integrates Tathāgatagarbha thought with the ideals of bodhisattva practice, systematically expounding a path of cultivation that dispels ignorance and confusion, reveals innate wisdom, and accomplishes great compassion for the benefit of others. Its structure of ten illuminations delves progressively deeper, encompassing the three major domains of essence, characteristics, and function, emphasizing the perfect and sudden teaching that delusion and enlightenment are non-dual, and that wisdom and compassion function in unison. This treatise profoundly influenced the development of Huayan thought in China, particularly providing a theoretical foundation for the later integration of Chan and doctrinal teachings. It is acclaimed as an authoritative work of lay Buddhism and holds an important position in the philosophy of Chinese Buddhism.


釋華嚴十明論敘
宋寶覺圓明禪師惠洪覺範撰
顯謨閣待制朱公世英。為余言。頃過金陵。謁王文公於鍾山。公以彥里閈晚生有志學道。謂曰。若讀史見勾踐伍員事乎。勾踐保栖會稽。置膽於坐臥則仰膽。飯食亦嘗膽也。伍員去楚櫜載。而去昭關至蒲伏行乞於吳市。二子設心止欲雪恥復仇。而焦身苦思二十餘年。而後遂其欲。蓋有志者事竟成也。然移此心以學無上菩提。其何以禦之。世英囑予記其言。世英歿一年。余還自海外。築室筠溪石門寺。夏釋此論。追念平時之語曰。嗟乎流轉三界未即棄去。其恥亦大矣。囚縛五陰未能超出。其仇亦深矣。以吳楚之仇恥較之。其相倍如日劫。而學者亦思掣肘徑去。然至誠惻怛勇決力行。較勾踐伍員特太山毫芒耳。豈不惜哉。金剛般若經。須菩提聞世尊言以恒河沙等身命布施。不如受持四句偈為他人說之福。於是泣下。其心豈不謂學者多以一身味著懈怠故自為障閡乎。夫雜華具四天下微塵數偈。而其所詮者。如來普光明大智一法而已。親近隨順此智者。戒定慧三法而已。以戒定慧觀照方便破滅無明。一切眾生彈指實證。故金剛藏菩薩曰。隨順無明起諸有。若不隨順諸有離。是謂成佛顯訣人法要旨。借令三世如來重復宣示深奧。不能加毫末於此矣。其於利害去取。曉如白黑。其義理昭著。粲如日星。不知。學者於戒定慧。何疑而不隨順。於無明煩惱。何戀而不棄遺乎。孟軻曰。今有無名之指屈而不信。非疾痛害事也。如有能信之者。則不遠秦楚之路。為指之不若人也。指不若人則知惡之。心不若人則不知惡。此之謂不知類也。今之知類者。吾特未見耳。豈密行暗證。隱實顯玼。世不得而知歟。抑觀力麁浮習重。境強多遇緣而退歟。余切慕。思大智者父子於道能遺虛名收實効。三十年間決期現證。皆獲宿智通。入法華三昧。乳中之酪此其驗矣。嗚呼安得如南嶽天台兩人者。與之增進此道哉。 政和五年六月十日書
