釋摩訶衍論 7.22

7.22

已說顯示發心功德門，次說揀擇上下顯異門。就此門中即有二門。云何為二？一者揀異地上門、二者揀異具縛門，是名為二。言揀異地上門者，謂發心住菩薩，唯名幻化影相身，不得名真如法身菩薩故。所以者何？此菩薩無始餘業猶未出離，隨受生處與微細苦相應不離，地上菩薩此相違故。如本然是菩薩未名法身，以其過去無量世來有漏之業未能決斷，隨其所生與微苦相應故故。言揀異具縛門者，所謂初發心住菩薩，無繫縛俱轉業因相，無繫縛受生果報故。所以者何？大願方便具足轉故。如本亦非業繫，以有大願自在力故故。

Having explained the portal of revealing the merits of generating the [bodhi-]mind, next is explained the portal of distinguishing higher and lower to reveal differences. Within this portal, there are two portals. What are the two? First, the portal of distinguishing differences from [bodhisattvas] on the grounds; second, the portal of distinguishing differences from those bound by all fetters. These are the two. As for the portal of distinguishing differences from [bodhisattvas] on the grounds, it means that a bodhisattva of the stage of generating the [bodhi-]mind is only called an illusory, shadowy body, and cannot be called a tathatā-dharmakāya bodhisattva. Why is that? This bodhisattva has not yet escaped the residual karma from beginningless time; in accordance with the place of rebirth, they are associated with subtle suffering and not separated from it, whereas bodhisattvas on the grounds are contrary to this mark. Thus the original [text] states: 'Yet this bodhisattva is not yet called the dharmakāya, because they have not yet severed the outflow-associated karma from immeasurable lifetimes in the past, and in accordance with where they are born, they are associated with subtle suffering.' As for the portal of distinguishing differences from those bound by all fetters, it refers to the bodhisattva of the stage of the initial generation of the [bodhi-]mind having no karmic causal marks that co-arise with fetters, and having no fruition of receiving rebirth bound by fetters. Why is that? Because the great vows and skillful means operate in complete fulfillment. Thus the original [text] states: 'Nor are they bound by karma, because they possess the sovereign power of great vows.'
