法華玄論 9.163

9.163

答：從初證法身已來垂迹化物，竟王宮之前，名過去世；託生王宮乃至雙林滅度，謂現在世；自爾已後為未來世。此皆是迹身有三世，本身無三世義。由來但明有三世，唯明成迹身，三身之中但得其一。

Answer: From first realizing the dharmakāya onward, projecting traces to transform beings up to before the royal palace is named the past time; entrusting birth to the royal palace up to extinction in the twin sāla grove is called the present time; from then onward is the future time. These are all the trace body having the three times; the original body does not have the meaning of the three times. Traditionally, only the existence of the three times was clarified, only clarifying the constitution of the trace body; among the three bodies, they obtained only one.
