金剛般若經贊述 1.223

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1700.1.223)

但諸菩薩要內證莊嚴，方住外七寶，非如觀西方池水等名莊嚴也。有形相莊嚴，即是住於色等境界中。故言「莊嚴佛土」者，謂內莊嚴也。「即非莊嚴」者，非外形相莊嚴也；「是名莊嚴」者，是無相無取真莊嚴也。

> It is only that all bodhisattvas must internally realize adornment, and only then do they abide in external seven jewels; it is not called adornment like contemplating the pool waters of the West. If there is adornment of concrete forms, that is abiding in sensory realms such as forms. Therefore, saying 'adorning Buddha-lands' refers to internal adornment; 'is not adorning' means not the adornment of external concrete forms; 'this is called adorning' means true adornment that is signless and ungraspable.
