English
English version ‘One who sees all dharmas’ (dharma, phenomena) means there is nothing that cannot be seen. ‘Three Eyes’ (Trikaya, the three bodies of the Buddha) refers to the totality of the three eyes: Regarding ‘rupa’ (rupa, material form), it is the state of understanding ‘avidya’ (avidya, ignorance), capable of seeing ‘rupa’ beyond the obstructions. ‘Sunyata’ (sunyata, emptiness) refers to using the ‘prajna-caksu’ (prajna-caksu, the eye of wisdom) to discern. ‘Seeing’ refers to using the ‘mamsa-caksu’ (mamsa-caksu, the physical eye) to see what is within the obstructions. ‘With great vows’ refers to the transformative treasury of the Buddha-garbha (Tathagatagarbha, the womb of the Buddha), acting with one mind at one time, hence the saying ‘with great vows’. ‘Constantly born in all pure lands’ means adorning the lands to transform beings. ‘Myriad asamkhya-kalpas’ (asamkhya-kalpa, countless eons) accumulating immeasurable Buddha-light samadhi (samadhi, meditative absorption) clarifies the stages and time of practice. ‘And able to manifest a million or even all Buddhas' divine powers’ refers to manifesting the form of the Buddha in immeasurable great chiliocosms. ‘Dwelling in the position of Bhagavan’ (Bhagavan, the Blessed One) refers to what was called in the Qin dynasty ‘the land of radiant wisdom and wondrous goodness’, also constantly entering the ‘Buddha-flower samadhi’. Summarizing the above samadhis, up to the divine powers of all Buddhas. Within the ten bhumis (bhumi, the ten stages of a Bodhisattva's path), there are three sentences of scripture: From the beginning to the end, being able to ‘equally without equal’ clarifies the exposition of the Dharma. The second sentence, from ‘For example, if someone’ to ‘nothing is not completely understood’, clarifies the setting of a metaphor. The third sentence, from ‘Dwelling in the samadhi of exhausting principle’ to ‘Buddha's wisdom samadhi’, clarifies the combining of the metaphor. Within the exposition of the Dharma, there are six sub-sentences: From the beginning to the ‘vajra platform’ (vajra, diamond), it clarifies the stages of the characteristics of practice, proving the mind of later learners. The second sentence, from ‘Good man’ to ‘is not called seeing’, clarifies that illuminating the principle is not yet complete. The third sentence, from ‘What is called seeing’ to ‘what is known, seen, and felt’, clarifies that the Buddha's view of the principle is complete and thorough. The fourth sentence, from ‘summit samadhi’ to ‘not seeing, not feeling’, explains the above second sentence of not completely seeing the principle. The fifth sentence, from ‘Only the Buddha's sudden understanding is not called belief’, explains and completes the third sentence of completely seeing the principle. The sixth sentence, from ‘gradually subduing’ to ‘without equal’, explains and completes the first sentence of the stages of practice. Furthermore, observing Buddhas and Bodhisattvas dwelling in the ksanti (ksanti, forbearance) of quiescence, clarifies that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas jointly use this forbearance. From ‘practicing forbearance’ to ‘summit samadhi’, it clarifies the three sages and ten saints (different stages of Bodhisattva practice). ‘All are called subduing all afflictions’ clarifies that the Bodhisattvas of the three sages subdue afflictions but do not sever them. From the first bhumi to the tenth bhumi, they both subdue and sever. Only the Buddha can completely sever them. ‘And without and without thought belief’ refers to those who are self-righteous and frivolous. ‘Extinguishing all afflictions, unobstructed path’ is extinguishing all afflictions and attaining the unobstructed path. ‘Giving rise to the wisdom of liberation’ refers to the path of liberation. ‘Illuminating the ultimate truth’ reveals its realm. ‘Is not called seeing’ because seeing the principle is not yet complete. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
