English version Delusion arises from the pursuit of profit. One is still bound by karma and knowledge, constantly reborn in the prisons of the Three Realms (Desire Realm, Form Realm, Formless Realm). Even if one is born in the heavens, one cannot escape suffering. Next is the explanation of the second Dharmakaya fruit. The text is divided into three sentences. First, the initial statement is presented: 'Subhuti (the Buddha's disciple, foremost in understanding emptiness). For example, a person with a large body.' This is the Buddha's secret saying. From here begins the discourse of Subhuti (another name for Subhuti). See the statement: 'Subhuti said: World Honored One (a respectful term for the Buddha). The Tathagata (another name for the Buddha) says that a person with a large body is not a great body; it is called a great body.' This is entering the realm of Suchness, not bound by the Three Realms, and attaining liberation. The body of the Tathagata is the body of wisdom, possessing all wisdom, which is the body of the Tathagata. From here onwards, the Bodhisattva realizes the great body. The statement: 'Subhuti, Bodhisattvas are also like this.' This is the Tathagata's analogy, Bodhisattvas are also like this, realizing the great body. If a Bodhisattva is to transform sentient beings, the statement: 'If one says, "I will liberate countless sentient beings," then one is not called a Bodhisattva.' If a Bodhisattva clings to this appearance, it is not a pure fruit. Although Bodhisattvas liberate sentient beings, they do not cling to the appearance of sentient beings. Bodhisattvas teach the Dharma, but they do not cling to the appearance of teaching the Dharma. For example, if a female official wears official attire, but still clings to her identity as a female official, is that acceptable? 'Why is this so?' This is the Tathagata's self-inquiry. From here onwards is the explanation. See the statement: 'Subhuti, in reality, there is no Dharma called a Bodhisattva.' This is an explanation of the principle. There is no fixed Dharma that can be called a Bodhisattva, but it is only for the convenience of teaching sentient beings that one is called a Bodhisattva. According to what principle does one not cling to the appearance of sentient beings? The statement: 'Therefore, the Buddha said, all Dharmas are without self, without person, without sentient being, without receiver.' The Dharma itself has no self, so how can one speak of a person? The above texts explain the Dharmakaya fruit. Next, the Pure Land fruit is explained. The text is divided into four sentences, including establishment, inquiry, explanation, and conclusion. First, the initial statement is presented: 'Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva says, "I will adorn the Buddha Land," one is not called a Bodhisattva.' This is the establishment of the argument. Or someone may doubt: If a Bodhisattva has these two appearances, then one is not a true Bodhisattva. If a Bodhisattva adorns the Buddha Land, why is this so? This is the question sentence. After the question is the explanation. See the statement: 'The Tathagata says that adorning the Buddha Land is not adornment; it is called adornment.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'This is explaining the meaning, preventing addition. This is called adornment, preventing subtraction and annihilation. If the mind is pure, then the Buddha's pure land is pure. The wonderful realm is the pure land. Just cultivate Bodhi, and you will attain growth here. The following is a conclusion. Consider the example: Subhuti (a disciple of the Buddha). If a Bodhisattva understands the Dharma of no-self, the Tathagata calls them a true Bodhisattva. This is the conclusion. By being free from delusional thoughts, true knowledge is attained. The Yogacara-bhumi-sastra says that a Bodhisattva has five merits and five rare qualities. The commentary explains this extensively. The preceding texts are different. The result of the pure land is complete. The following will explain the purity of merit, which has four aspects. First, the initial text is presented. Consider the example: Subhuti (a disciple of the Buddha). What do you think? Does the Tathagata have a physical eye? There are four aspects to the purity of merit: first, the purity of the eye of wisdom; second, the purity of the physical form; third, the purity of the realm; and fourth, the purity of mental conduct. These four purities encompass all purity. This is the first question. The question is respectful. The example is: 'Yes, World Honored One, the Tathagata has a physical eye.' This is Bodhi answering according to convention. The Tathagata has a physical eye that sees without obstruction. This is seeing with the physical eye. This seeing is not correct seeing because it arises from the discrimination of the sixth consciousness. The sixth consciousness is the mind. The Lotus Sutra says, 'Those who should be saved by various bodies will be shown various bodies to preach the Dharma.' The following is the second question: Does the Tathagata have a heavenly eye? Consider the example: Subhuti (a disciple of the Buddha). What do you think? Does the Tathagata have a heavenly eye? There are two types, detailed in the commentary. The question is respectful. The example is: 'Yes, World Honored One, the Tathagata has a heavenly eye.' This is the second answer. The fourth Dhyana heaven is the Pure Abode Heaven. The heavenly eye also uses the physical body as its basis, emitting light to see forms. The Lotus Sutra says, 'If one can receive, uphold, read, and recite, one will see colors beyond obstructions.' This is called seeing in the present life. The following is the third question: Does one have the eye of wisdom? Consider the example: Subhuti (a disciple of the Buddha). What do you think? Does the Tathagata have the eye of wisdom? This is the third respectful question. The example is: 'Yes, World Honored One, the Tathagata has the eye of wisdom.' This is the third answer. The Vimalakirti Sutra says, 'The Buddha proclaims the Dharma with one sound, and sentient beings each' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Attaining liberation. Observing and making decisive choices is called ‘Wisdom’ (Prajna). This can be likened to the ‘Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom’ (Ādarśa-jñāna), in which all things are reflected. From here onwards, is the fourth question, regarding ‘whether the Tathagata (Tathāgata) has the Dharma Eye (Dharma-cakṣus)’. The Buddha (Buddha) gives an example: ‘Subhuti (Subhūti), what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the Dharma Eye?’ This is the respectful question of the fourth question. Also called ‘respectful question’. Subhuti answers: ‘Yes, Bhagavan (Bhagavan), the Tathagata has the Dharma Eye.’ This is the fourth answer. ‘Eye’ here means ‘Brave Spring’, which can save all beings, so it is called ‘Brave Spring’. The spring water itself has no discrimination, all beings themselves discriminate the spring water. This can be likened to seawater in a plate, clinging to the plate; seawater in a bowl, clinging to the bowl; the seawater itself, the water is the same, only the containers are different. The water is the same. From here onwards, is the fifth question, regarding ‘whether the Tathagata has the Buddha Eye (Buddha-cakṣus)’. The Buddha gives an example: ‘Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the Buddha Eye?’ This is the fifth question, also a respectful question. Subhuti answers: ‘Yes, Bhagavan, the Tathagata has the Buddha Eye.’ This is the fifth answer. All the previous texts have both cessation and establishment (refuting wrong views and establishing correct views), why does this text not cease wrong views? Because this text is about the Ultimate Truth (Paramārtha-satya), so there is no cessation. From here onwards, there are three aspects to explain the purity of wisdom. First is the first aspect. The Buddha gives an example: ‘Subhuti, what do you think? All the sand in the Ganges River (Ganges River), does the Buddha say it is sand?’ From here onwards, is Subhuti's answer. Subhuti answers: ‘Yes, Bhagavan, the Tathagata says it is sand.’ Here is the third question, about how much sand is in the Ganges River. The Buddha gives an example: ‘Subhuti, what do you think? If there are as many Ganges Rivers as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, the number of grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers, would the Buddha-world be like that, would it be many?’ From here onwards is the fourth answer. See the example. ‘Very many, Bhagavan.’ This is Subhuti's question, Sakyamuni's (Sakyamuni) answer. See the example. The Buddha tells Subhuti: ‘In these lands, all beings, how many kinds of thoughts, because the kinds are difficult to count, so it is called several.’ From here onwards, it shows that one can know everything. ‘The Tathagata knows everything’, this shows that one can know everything. Below are two questions and two explanations. ‘Do not have the thought of mind’ (Why not have the thought of mind). ‘Why’ (Why), this is the first question. From here onwards, is Sakyamuni's explanation, knowing that the minds of beings are empty. Example. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
