金剛經纂要刊定記 3.91

3.91

答：「色身之相是影，法身無相是體。欲得有相色身，須見無相法體。未見法體不能現相，是故先令見相無相，方得色相之身耳。此中意在文外，故論此意科也。」

Answer: "The marks of the physical body are shadows; the signless dharmakāya is the substance. If one wishes to attain the physical body with marks, one must see the signless essence of Dharma. Without having seen the essence of Dharma, one cannot manifest marks; therefore it first causes one to see marks as non-marks, and only then does one attain the body of physical marks. Here the meaning lies outside the words; therefore the treatise formulated the division with this meaning."
