法華義疏 11.104

11.104

皆互通也。耳既遍聞好惡聲，舌亦精別一切味，但互歎耳。又餘人不能遠聞聲，今歎持經力能遠聞；餘人不得上味，歎持經人力能得上味。又聲不益身故不須變，味正資質體故須變也。食中具諸塵味，塵既變者堅觸亦變成軟，乃至赤色變為白飯，舉一例諸。又味正益身所以論變，餘不正益故不論變也。

They mutually interpenetrate. Just as the ear universally hears both pleasant and unpleasant sounds, the tongue also exquisitely distinguishes all tastes; it is merely an interchangeable praise. Furthermore, ordinary people cannot hear sounds from afar, but now [the sūtra] praises the power of upholding the sūtra to hear from afar; ordinary people cannot obtain superior flavors, but it praises the power of the person upholding the sūtra to obtain superior flavors. Moreover, sounds do not nourish the body, so they do not need to be transformed, whereas flavors directly sustain physical substance, so they must be transformed. Within food all the sense objects and flavors are complete; since the sense objects are transformed, hard tactile sensations also turn soft, and even reddish color transforms into white rice—to cite one instance is to illustrate them all. Moreover, flavors directly benefit the body, which is why transformation is discussed; the others do not directly benefit it, so transformation is not discussed.
