3.48

本覺佛對化佛說：五蘊都對舍衛國，化身佛在舍衛國，表本覺佛在五蘊城。城中既人物相兼，蘊內亦色心具足。覺魔等對戰勝也。梵音魔羅此云殺者，能殺行人慧命故也。然有四種：一、天魔，即欲界主，二、煩惱魔，三、陰魔，四、死魔。今言覺空者，如《心經》云：「照見五蘊皆空，無無明，乃至亦無老死盡」也。照五蘊空即破陰魔，無無明盡破煩惱魔，乃至無老死即破死魔。餘出世法尚空，況天魔耶。

The Buddha of original enlightenment corresponds to the transformation Buddha: the five aggregates altogether correspond to the city of Śrāvastī; the transformation body Buddha being in the city of Śrāvastī expresses the Buddha of original enlightenment being within the city of the five aggregates. Since within the city people and things are both present, within the aggregates form and mind are also complete. Awakening to māras and so forth corresponds to being victorious in battle. The Sanskrit māra is translated here as "killer," because it can kill the practitioner's life of wisdom. There are four kinds: first, the heavenly māra, namely the lord of the desire realm; second, the affliction-māra; third, the aggregates-māra; and fourth, the death-māra. Now, speaking of awakening to emptiness is as the Heart Sūtra says: "contemplating the five aggregates as all empty, there is no ignorance... down to no exhaustion of aging and death." Contemplating the five aggregates as empty destroys the aggregates-māra; no exhaustion of ignorance destroys the affliction-māra; down to no aging and death destroys the death-māra. If other supramundane dharmas are already empty, how much more so the heavenly māra!
