English version: '心也。此心方圆。不出寸许。故曰方寸。乃五脏中心脏。浮尘意根。俗云神藏于心。故曰居于方寸。亦第八识相分。' 'Heart' refers to the square-inch heart, which is square and round, no more than an inch in size, hence the name 'square-inch'. It is the heart of the five organs, the root of floating dust-like thoughts. Common people say that the spirit is hidden in the heart, so it is said to reside in the 'square-inch'. It is also the aspect of the eighth consciousness (Alaya-vijnana). '答中言真妄无二者。真。谓真性。妄。谓妄心。性。乃不变之体。心。乃随缘之用。体用不二也。' The answer says that truth and falsehood are not two. 'Truth' refers to true nature, 'falsehood' refers to false mind. Nature is the unchanging substance, mind is the function that arises with conditions. Substance and function are not two. '妄心全性而起者。谓全竖穷横遍之性。起为介尔之心。全介尔之心。即竖穷横遍之性。故曰性既无边。心亦无际也。' The false mind arises entirely from the true nature, meaning that the entire vertically exhaustive and horizontally pervasive nature gives rise to a tiny thought. And this tiny thought fully contains the vertically exhaustive and horizontally pervasive nature. Therefore, it is said that since the nature is boundless, the mind is also boundless. '性如大海。更以喻释也。文可知。心土相即门竟。' The nature is like the great ocean. This is explained with a metaphor. It can be understood from the text. The gate of the non-duality of mind and land ends here. '○四生佛不二门。又二。初偈颂。二论文○今初。' The gate of non-duality between the four kinds of birth (oviparous, viviparous, moisture-born, and metamorphic) and the Buddha is divided into two parts. The first part is verses, and the second part is essays. Now we begin with the first part. '阿弥与凡夫。迷悟虽有殊。佛心众生心。究竟无有二。' Amitabha (Amitabha) and ordinary beings, although different in delusion and enlightenment, the mind of the Buddha and the mind of sentient beings are ultimately not two. '○二论文分四。初生佛分于迷悟。二迷悟依于心性。三心性体不受迷。四称性行无虚弃○今初。' The second part of the essay is divided into four parts. The first part is the difference between the Buddha and sentient beings in delusion and enlightenment, the second part is that delusion and enlightenment depend on the nature of mind, the third part is that the substance of the nature of mind is not affected by delusion, and the fourth part is that actions in accordance with the nature will not be in vain. Now we begin with the first part. '论曰阿弥陀佛者。果人也。成就三身。四智。十力。四无所畏。十八不共等功德。凡夫者。因人也。具足无量恒沙烦恼。造作无量恒沙业系。当受无量恒沙生死。迷悟之相。譬彼云泥。' The essay says that Amitabha (Amitabha) is a person who has attained the fruit, having achieved the Three Bodies (Trikaya), Four Wisdoms (Four Wisdoms), Ten Powers (Ten Powers), Four Fearlessnesses (Four Fearlessnesses), Eighteen Unshared Qualities (Eighteen Unshared Qualities), and other merits. Ordinary beings are people who are still in the stage of cause, possessing countless troubles, creating countless karmic bonds, and destined to undergo countless cycles of birth and death. The difference between delusion and enlightenment is like clouds and mud. '三身者。梵语毗卢遮那。此云遍一切处。华严云。法身遍在一切处。一切众生及国土。三世悉在无有余。无有形相而可得。梵语卢舍那。此云光明遍照。梵网云。我今卢舍那。方坐莲华台等。梵语释迦牟尼。此云能仁寂默。然此三名。不可定执。晋译华严。皆卢舍那。唐译皆称毗卢遮那。华严又云。或名释迦。或名遮那等。只' The Three Bodies (Trikaya), in Sanskrit, is Vairocana (Vairocana), which means 'pervading all places'. The Avatamsaka Sutra says, 'The Dharmakaya (Dharmakaya) pervades all places, all sentient beings and lands, the three times are all within it without remainder, but the Dharmakaya has no specific form to be attached to.' In Sanskrit, Locana (Locana) means 'light pervading all'. The Brahma Net Sutra says, 'I am now the Locana Buddha, sitting upright on the lotus platform,' and so on. In Sanskrit, Sakyamuni (Sakyamuni) means 'capable of benevolence and silence'. However, these three names should not be rigidly adhered to. The Avatamsaka Sutra translated in the Jin Dynasty was all translated as Locana Buddha, and the one translated in the Tang Dynasty was called Vairocana Buddha. The Avatamsaka Sutra also says, 'Sometimes it is called Sakyamuni, sometimes it is called Vairocana,' and so on, only --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: It's just different Sanskrit sounds. Although there are three names (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya), their essence is not different. However, these three bodies each have singular and plural aspects. The Dharmakaya is singular, referring only to the essence of original enlightenment. The Sambhogakaya is singular, referring to the perfect wisdom of initial enlightenment. The Nirmanakaya is singular, referring to the compassionate manifestation in response to needs. The Dharmakaya has plural aspects: first, the Svabhavikakaya (self-nature pure Dharmakaya); second, the Vimalakaya (immaculate and wonderful Dharmakaya). The Sambhogakaya has plural aspects: first, the Svayam Sambhogakaya (self-enjoyment Sambhogakaya), which is the wisdom and cessation of afflictions of all Buddhas, the ultimate fruition. Second, the Parartha Sambhogakaya (other-enjoyment Sambhogakaya), which is the excellent qualities like dust motes in the Buddha-fields seen by Bodhisattvas on the ground. The Nirmanakaya has plural aspects: first, the manifestation body, demonstrating the eight aspects of attaining Buddhahood. Second, the transformation body, appearing from nothing, demonstrating the eight aspects. There are also three types of Nirmanakaya: first, the superior manifestation body, which is seen by Bodhisattvas on the ground, also called the other-enjoyment body. Second, the mixed superior-inferior manifestation body, which is seen by those of the Three Vehicles in the shared teachings. Third, the inferior manifestation body, the sixteen-foot-tall elderly Bhikshu form seen in the Tripitaka teachings. The Four Wisdoms refer to transforming the eight consciousnesses into the four wisdoms. Transforming the eighth consciousness into the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom (Adarsa-jnana), transforming the seventh consciousness into the Wisdom of Equality (Samata-jnana), transforming the sixth consciousness into the Wonderful Discriminating Wisdom (Pratyaveksana-jnana), and transforming the first five consciousnesses into the Wisdom of Accomplishing Actions (Krtyanusthana-jnana). The Ten Powers refer to: first, the power of knowing what is possible and impossible, knowing the causes and conditions of the karmic retribution of all beings, such as doing good deeds leading to happy results, which is called possible; hoping for good results from doing evil deeds, which is called impossible. Second, the power of knowing karma, knowing all the karmic forces of all beings in the three times. Third, the power of knowing meditation, knowing dhyana and samadhi. Fourth, the power of knowing faculties, knowing the superior, middling, and inferior faculties of all beings. Fifth, the power of knowing desires, knowing the various desires and pleasures of all beings. Sixth, the power of knowing realms, knowing the various realms of all beings in the world. Seventh, the power of knowing destinations, knowing the characteristics of the destinations of all paths. Eighth, the power of knowing past lives, knowing the names, suffering, happiness, and lifespans of past lives, even hundreds of thousands of millions of lives. Ninth, the power of the heavenly eye, seeing beings being born and dying, in good and evil realms, etc. Tenth, the power of the exhaustion of outflows, knowing oneself that my birth is exhausted, and I will not receive future existence. The Four Fearlessnesses refer to: first, the fearlessness of all-knowing wisdom, being completely aware and completely seeing all dharmas, therefore having no fear. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
