金剛經纂要刊定記 2.61

2.61

疏未聞下。二、釋。謂十二年前小乘之人，唯取三十二相金色之身，以為真佛，不知更有真佛，故云但言色相。不知下。以未達法空故，不知此相但是真身之中所現影像也。故《唯識》云：「大圓鏡智能現能生身土智影」，既言是影則知非真。故彌勒頌云：「應化非真佛，亦非說法者。」

As for the commentary's "not having heard" and so forth: Second, the explanation. This means that prior to the twelve years, people of the Hīnayāna took only the golden body with the thirty-two marks to be the true Buddha, not knowing that there is yet another true Buddha; hence it says, "they speak only of the physical marks." As for "not knowing" and so forth: Because they had not yet penetrated the śūnyatā of phenomena (dharma-śūnyatā), they did not know that these marks are merely reflected images appearing within the true body. Therefore the *Vijñaptimātratā* says: "The Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom can manifest and produce reflections of bodies, lands, and wisdom." Since it says they are reflections, one knows they are not real. Therefore Maitreya's verse says: "The responsive and transformative [bodies] are not the true Buddha, / nor are they the speaker of the Dharma."
