法華玄論 9.42

9.42

Answer: Universally, it possesses both meanings; specifically, it directly reveals that Śākyamuni is a trace. The reason is that from the past until now, people clung to the two vehicles as the real teaching and the sixteen-foot form as the true body; above, it has already been clarified that the two vehicles are not the real teaching, and now it reveals next that the sixteen-foot form is not the true body. In the pure land, these two attachments do not necessarily exist, hence it specifically reveals Śākyamuni [as a trace].
