金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 1.72

1.72

In [the passage on] dependent recompense, there are broadly four [parts]: first, it generally brings up and reveals the fault; second, from "Why is this?" onward, it demands the reason for the fault; third, "Subhūti, what the Tathāgata speaks of as adorning buddha-lands...": the reply directly reveals truth against the fault; fourth, from "Therefore, Subhūti, all bodhisattvas..." onward, it contemplates the completion of the true mark. This text has four: first, producing the mind of the true mark; second, "without abiding anywhere" reveals the mark of the mind; third, "they should not abide in form to produce a mind" reveals truth against the fault; fourth, "they should produce their mind without abiding anywhere" expounds and accomplishes the correct meaning. Because this pure land and so forth are accomplished by true gnosis, they cannot be grasped. If one says they can be grasped, that is not speaking truly. The text says "is non-adornment; therefore it is named adorning buddha-lands": the land of the mark of ultimate truth is not physical form, and ultimate truth is entirely accomplished through adornment, not through conditioned physical forms.
