金剛般若經贊述 1.55

1.55

"Entering the great city of Śrāvastī" symbolizes wishing to enter the great city of the true Dharma to partake of the food of signlessness. Alternatively, the true Dharma is like a city, so the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa says, "to protect the Dharma city", for bodhisattvas are like city guardians; or, the true Dharma is like the people in the city and bodhisattvas are like the city, which is "to protect the Dharma city"; or, entering the great city of the dharmadhātu to drink the flavor of signlessness—it is to symbolize this that it says "entering the great city of Śrāvastī".
