English

English version: What meaning does the verse illuminate? It is because there are three aspects. Sequentially, there are three kinds of relative dharmas similar to the great ocean. In the Tathagata-nature (Tathagata-dhatu), one should understand the meaning of corresponding to the ultimate accomplishment of the cause. What are the three aspects? First, the cause of the pure Dharmakaya (Dharmakaya, the body of the Dharma). Second, the cause of accumulating Buddha-wisdom. Third, the cause of obtaining the great compassion of the Tathagata. The cause of the pure Dharmakaya is the relative dharma similar to the vessel of believing and practicing the Mahayana (Mahayana, the Great Vehicle). Because it is immeasurable and inexhaustible. The verse speaks of 'Buddha-Dharmakaya', therefore it is a relative dharma similar to the great ocean. The cause of accumulating Buddha-wisdom is the relative dharma similar to the prajna (prajna, wisdom), samadhi (samadhi, concentration), and jewels. The verse speaks of 'wisdom and concentration', therefore it is a relative dharma similar to jewels. The cause of obtaining the great compassion of the Tathagata is the relative dharma similar to the water of great compassion. The verse speaks of 'compassion embracing the nature of sentient beings', therefore it is a relative dharma similar to water. Furthermore, practicing the gate of wisdom and samadhi is a relative dharma similar to treasures. Because it is non-discriminating, inconceivable, and possesses great power and corresponding merits. Furthermore, practicing the relative dharma similar to the water of great compassion of the Bodhisattva, because for all sentient beings, with gentle great compassion, one obtains the aspect of one taste and equal taste. Like this, these three dharmas, these three causes combine, and ultimately do not separate from each other, therefore it is called corresponding. What meaning does the latter half of the verse reveal? The verse says: 'Penetrating wisdom and stainlessness, do not depart from Suchness (Tathata), like the brightness and warmth of a lamp, similar to the stainless realm.' What meaning does this verse illuminate? There are three aspects, sequentially there are three kinds of relative dharmas similar to a lamp. In the Dharmadhatu (Dharmadhatu, the realm of Dharma) of the Tathagata, one should understand the meaning of corresponding to the result. What are the three aspects? First, penetration (supernatural power). Second, knowing the wisdom of the exhaustion of outflows. Third, the exhaustion of outflows. What is the meaning of this? Penetration, there is the relative dharma similar to the light of the five penetrations (five supernatural powers). Because the affairs of enjoyment can scatter and extinguish, it is contrary to wisdom, and the dark dharma to be governed can govern the similar relative dharma. The verse speaks of 'penetration', therefore it is 'brightness'. Knowing the wisdom of the exhaustion of outflows is the relative dharma similar to the warmth of non-outflow wisdom. Because it can burn away karma (karma, action) and afflictions, without any remainder, it can burn away the similar relative dharma. The verse speaks of 'wisdom', therefore it is 'warmth'. The exhaustion of outflows is the relative dharma similar to the color of the exhaustion of outflows by turning the body. Because the aspect of constant stainlessness, purity, and complete light is without. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: ‘Because of the relative method of impurity and similarity. The verse says because of 'no impurity', therefore there is 'form' (phenomena). Moreover, 'no impurity' is because of being apart from the obstacle of afflictions. 'Purity' is because of being apart from the obstacle of wisdom. 'Brightness' is like the self-nature pure essence. Those two are guest dust afflictions. Thus, briefly speaking of the six kinds of non-outflow wisdom, the Dharma contained in the non-outflow body that is apart from afflictions. In the non-outflow Dharma realm, they do not separate from each other, and the Dharma realm without difference is equal and ultimately complete. This is called the meaning of correspondence, which should be known.’ Because 'impurity' (afflictions) and 'similarity' (Tathata) are relative. The verse says that because of 'no impurity', there is 'form' (phenomena). Also, 'no impurity' is because of being apart from the obstacle of afflictions. 'Purity' is because of being apart from the obstacle of wisdom. 'Brightness' is like the self-nature pure essence. The obstacles of afflictions and wisdom are guest dust afflictions. Like this, briefly speaking of the six kinds of non-outflow wisdom, it is the Dharma contained in the non-outflow body that is apart from afflictions. In the non-outflow Dharma realm, they do not separate from each other, and the Dharma realm without difference is equal and ultimately complete. This is called the meaning of correspondence, which should be known. ‘Also, according to the meaning of practice, a verse is spoken: Those who see reality say: Ordinary beings, sages, Buddhas, Sentient beings, Tathagatagarbha (Tathagatagarbha, the womb of the Tathagata), Suchness (Tathata, Suchness) are without difference.’ What meaning does this verse show? The verse says: ‘The minds of ordinary beings are inverted, seeing reality is different from them, truly not inverted, all Buddhas are apart from playfulness.’ What meaning does this verse explain? It explains that all Dharmas in the Dharma realm of the Tathagata, Suchness are pure and bright with the same appearance. According to the Prajna Paramita (Prajna Paramita, perfection of wisdom) non-discriminating wisdom Dharma gate, etc., it is spoken for all Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, great Bodhisattvas). What meaning does this use? Briefly explaining according to three kinds of people. What are the three? First, ordinary beings who do not see reality. Second, sages who see reality. Third, those who ultimately achieve the Dharma body of the Tathagata. This is called the three kinds of practices, which should be known. How should it be known? It means taking inversion, leaving inversion, and leaving playfulness, in such an order. What meaning does this use? Taking inversion means that all ordinary beings see things with three kinds of false thoughts, so the verse says that the minds of ordinary beings are inverted. Leaving inversion is because sages are apart from seeing things with false thoughts, so the verse says that seeing reality is different from them. Leaving playfulness is truly leaving inversion and all kinds of playfulness, because the obstacles of afflictions, the obstacles of wisdom, and the habitual energies of afflictions are fundamentally and eternally exhausted by all Buddhas and Tathagatas, so the verse says that truly not inverted, all Buddhas are apart from playfulness. From here onwards, it is according to this practice, and the remaining four kinds of meanings are widely and differently explained, which should be known.’ Also, according to the meaning of practice, a verse is spoken: ‘Those who see reality say: Ordinary beings, sages, Buddhas, sentient beings, Tathagatagarbha (Tathagatagarbha), Suchness (Tathata) are without difference.’ What meaning does this verse show? The verse says: ‘The minds of ordinary beings are inverted, seeing reality is different from them, truly not inverted, all Buddhas are apart from playfulness.’ What meaning does this verse explain?

From here onwards, it is according to this practice, and the remaining four kinds of meanings are widely and differently explained, which should be known. ‘Again, according to the differences in time of those three kinds of people, a verse is spoken: There is impurity, there is purity, and there is good purity, etc. In such an order, it is said: sentient beings, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas.’ What does this verse show? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 义。偈言。  体等六句义  略明法性体  次第三时中  说三种名字
