6.39
Regarding "all four are superior": the physical eye of ordinary beings sees within obstructions; the divine eye sees beyond obstructions; the Buddha eye sees innumerable worlds. The divine eye of the two vehicles sees only one trichiliocosm; the Buddha's divine eye sees Buddha-lands as many as the sands of the Ganges. The wisdom eye of the two vehicles illuminates only the emptiness of persons; ground-dwelling bodhisattvas also partially realize it; the Buddha's wisdom eye fully illuminates the three emptinesses and thoroughly penetrates the true nature. What is knowable to the bodhisattva's Dharma eye is not yet exhausted, each ground having its distinct limitation; for the Buddha's Dharma eye, the cognitive obscurations are exhausted, with no phenomenon unknown and no living being unsaved. Hence all four are superior.
