仁王經疏 3.117

3.117

Explanation: The second [part] is sequentially detailing them individually. Within this there are two: first, the individual narration; and later, praising again. This is the individual narration. However, regarding these five transformations, the various explanations differ. One says: first, "one flower," etc., concerns the mutual entry of one and many regarding flowers and lands. Second, "immeasurable buddha-lands entering a pore," etc., is the mutual entry of broad and narrow. Third, "immeasurable Mount Sumerus," etc., is the mutual entry of coarse and subtle. Fourth, "one buddha entering immeasurable sentient beings," etc., is the mutual entry of cause and effect. Within this, it first concerns mutual entry in one destiny, and later mutual entry in the six destinies. Fifth, the Buddha's body entering the bodies of the four great elements is the mutual entry of the sentient and the non-sentient. Another says: the first concerns flowers, the mutual entry of one and many. The second concerns buddha-lands, the mutual entry of one and many. The third concerns buddha-lands and pores, the mutual entry of one and many. The fourth concerns Sumeru, etc., the mutual entry of coarse and subtle. The fifth concerns ordinary beings and sages, the mutual entry of internal and external. If relying on the Original Commentary, there are five transformations and three purposes. The five transformations are: first, flowers; second, buddha-lands; third, Sumeru; fourth, the Buddha's body; fifth, entering earth, water, fire, and wind. The three purposes are: first, pervading space: from "one flower entering immeasurable flowers" downward, in order to eliminate the obstacle of not aspiring to the Mahāyāna, there is pervading space. Second, transforming: from "one buddha-land entering immeasurable buddha-lands" downward, in order to eliminate the obstacle of grasping at what belongs to self, there is transforming. Third, clearly revealing: from "one buddha-body entering immeasurable assemblies" downward, in order to eliminate fear of saṃsāra, it clearly reveals entry into the six destinies.
