金剛經纂要刊定記 3.92

3.92

In the fourth, regarding "spoken explanation": the sūtra goes from "Subhūti addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World-Honoured One!..." up to "...even Dharma should be cast aside, how much more so non-Dharma." Question: "The dharmakāya is not spoken explanation; why is spoken explanation taken as the dharmakāya?" Therefore the Commentary explains: "Because principle is revealed through speech." This has two meanings: 1. Revealing the dharmakāya through spoken explanation, while the dharmakāya is not spoken explanation. 2. The detachment inherent in written words is itself the dharmakāya; there is no separate dharmakāya.
