仁王般若經疏 3.162

3.162

From "the thirty patiences" downward, next is explained entering the Way through actual practice. The two kinds of provisional-characteristic contemplation are prior to the bhūmis, whereas the thirty patiences are upon the bhūmis. The ten bhūmis each have three mental moments, making thirty patiences in all. That which is called the "characteristic of the first bhūmi" is precisely the first bhūmi. That which is called the "ultimate truth" explains that upon the first bhūmi's attainment and completion of the ultimate truth, it serves as the upāya-characteristic for the nine bhūmis. What is called the "nine bhūmis" refers to the remaining nine bhūmis from the Stainless [Bhūmi] upward. "Abandoning the mortal body and entering the body of the six abodes" means abandoning the body of the outer ordinary person and entering the body of the six abodes from the lineage [level] upward. "Abandoning the seven retributive bodies and entering the eight dharmakāyas" means abandoning the seven upāyas prior to the bhūmis and attaining the eighth dharmakāya of the first bhūmi. It may also mean abandoning the bodies of effortful practice of the first seven bhūmis and entering the effortless dharmakāya of the eighth bhūmi and above.
