English

English version They have not attained constant, great bliss. Another interpretation is that the two vehicles (Śrāvakayāna and Pratyekabuddhayāna) consider their Dharma to be the foremost and superior. 'Being in the place of Nirvāṇa' refers to being in a place of rest. 'The place they previously attained' refers to the teachings given by the Tathāgata when he first expounded the Four Noble Truths (duḥkha, samudaya, nirodha, and mārga). The two vehicles eradicate the afflictions of the four abodes in the three realms (desire realm, form realm, and formless realm), abandon their final physical body, and attain Nirvāṇa without remainder. In the past, this was considered real, called the place previously attained, and reaching the place of clarity. Even so, there is still the birth and death of moment-to-moment change, so they are aware that this is only a place with remainder, and they should attain unsurpassed Bodhi. Why is this so? Queen Śrīmālā explains the meaning that should be understood. Since the three vehicles converge into one vehicle, and they have exhausted their respective practices, how could they not know? 'That is the Buddha Vehicle,' which explains the meaning of attaining Buddhahood through one's own wisdom. 'That is the realm of Nirvāṇa,' where the尊道 is supreme and surpassing, called Bodhi; the multitude of afflictions are all eliminated, called Nirvāṇa. Possessing the seeds to respond to the needs of all beings is called the Dharmakāya. Although these three meanings are different, their essence is the same. 'Then, ultimately, it is the One Vehicle,' attaining the Buddha's Dharmakāya, the power of the vehicle ceases. Therefore, it is known that the two vehicles are not the ultimate destination. 'Not different from the Tathāgata, not different from the Dharmakāya,' which explains that the Tathāgata and the Dharmakāya are one. 'Attaining the ultimate Dharmakāya, ultimately the One Vehicle,' these two phrases are cited to explain the boundless and unceasing. The Buddha's essence is constant and manifests in the ten directions, called boundless; there is no moment-to-moment extinction, so it is called unceasing. 'The Tathāgata has no limit, abiding in time, abiding in the future, etc.,' these two phrases explain that the essence of the Dharma is constant. 'Boundless great compassion, boundless comfort to the world,' these two phrases explain that the teachings are universally applied without end. 'This is called the well-spoken Tathāgata,' praising and proclaiming that the Tathāgata's teachings are universally applied without end, because he has attained the reality of the Buddha, so it is called good. If it is said that the Tathāgata's teachings end under the twin trees, then the reality of the Buddha is lost, and it cannot be called good. 'Endless Dharma, constant Dharma,' praising and proclaiming that the Tathāgata's essence is constant, which can also be considered the reality of the Buddha, and can be considered good. If it is said that the Tathāgata's life ends under the twin trees, and the sixteen-foot golden body perishes, then it cannot be called good. 'That which all the world relies on,' the Dharmakāya is constant and can be truly recognized, and relying on the Dharmakāya is the most real. In the past, the two vehicles relied on the sixteen-foot manifested Buddha, considering this to be real. Now, proclaiming the Buddha of the constant Dharmakāya is for the sake of the great beings (Bodhisattvas). Therefore, it is known that the two vehicles have not relied on the true Buddha. 'Therefore, those who have not crossed the world' are because birth and death have not yet been eliminated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The first meaning refers to those who ultimately take refuge in the Tathagata (如来, Thus Come One). These two kinds of people who take refuge in the Dharma (法, law/teachings) and the Sangha (僧, monastic community) should know that taking refuge in the Dharmakaya (法身, Dharma body) of the Buddha is the same as taking refuge in the unified Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Why is this so? Because by taking refuge in the Buddha, one naturally obtains the Dharma and the Sangha. There are no different two refuges; since the essence is not different, taking refuge in one obtains both. The Tathagata is the threefold refuge: the Greatly Awakened One is called Buddha, that which can be a standard is called Dharma, and the state of constant harmony is called Sangha. The realm of the Buddha is complete, possessing these three learnings; in the realm of ordinary beings, it is not sufficient to separately receive these names. Those of the Two Vehicles (二乘, Śrāvakayāna and Pratyekabuddhayāna) understand unclearly, so the threefold refuge is spoken of as coarse, manifest, and with separate essences; Bodhisattvas understand clearly, so the threefold treasure is spoken of as having one essence. Why is this so? Why does one essence have three names? This is speaking of the One Vehicle (一乘, Ekayana) path, explaining these three meanings; the essence of the vehicle is one, but it is spoken of as three according to different people. Therefore, citing these has two intentions: one is to prove the meaning, and the other is to conclude the purpose. The Four Fearlessnesses (四无畏, four kinds of fearlessness a Buddha possesses) of the Tathagata: this explains that the Tathagata's understanding is unobstructed, so he can speak of three from one according to different people. If the Tathagata speaks expediently according to what they desire, this explains that the Tathagata does not falsely speak the Dharma; although the ways of speaking the Dharma are different, they ultimately return to one truth. Speaking of three expediently is the Great Vehicle. Although the names of the vehicle are three, the essence is actually one. There is no Two Vehicle, because there is no Two Vehicle Dharma. Entering the One Vehicle, since there is no other Dharma, how can one not enter the One Vehicle mentioned in this chapter? Taking refuge in the One Vehicle of this text is the First Meaning Vehicle; there is only the Dharmakaya of the Buddha, and no other destination. The Śrāvakas (声闻, Hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (缘觉, Solitary Buddhas) initially contemplate the Noble Truths (圣谛, Four Noble Truths): this is the name of the sixth sutra, and also the beginning of the Noble Truths. About to explain that the Truths have fine and coarse distinctions, first one must distinguish that wisdom has clear and obscure differences. Since the Truths have fine and coarse distinctions, learning also has a gradual process. Initially contemplating the coarse Truths is called initial contemplation. Using one wisdom to sever various abodes, because all wisdom that severs afflictions is the same and unobstructed, it is called one wisdom. Also, one can use one understanding to contemplate one cessation truth, thereby severing afflictions. Using one wisdom to sever four times, knowing that merit has been accomplished, thereby attesting, all wisdom that proves afflictions have been exhausted is the same name of liberation. Also, one can use one understanding to contemplate one cessation truth, thereby proving afflictions have been exhausted. This is also being good at understanding. These four Dharma meanings are clearly seeing the Four Noble Truths. Also, one can use one understanding to contemplate the cessation truth, but one must first contemplate the four truths.
