法華玄論 1.10

1.10

答：入室但有覆己，佛室普欲蔭他，是故慈悲名如來室。既欲普化群生則遍忍污辱，以此自嚴，無醜不覆，是故和忍稱如來衣。空理虛通可導群有，踞此敷弘無緣不蓋，是以空解為如來座。

Answer: Entering an ordinary room merely shelters oneself; the Buddha’s room universally intends to shelter others. Therefore loving-kindness and compassion are called the Tathāgata’s room. Since one wishes to universally transform all sentient beings, one completely endures defilements and insults; adorning oneself with this, there is no ugliness it does not cover. Therefore gentle forbearance is called the Tathāgata’s robe. The principle of emptiness is vast and open, capable of guiding all existences; sitting upon this and widely propagating, there is no condition it does not encompass. Therefore the understanding of emptiness is the Tathāgata’s seat.
