法華義疏 12.214

12.214

《淨名經》歎佛身云「不在方不離方，以離三界故不在方，無感不應故不離方」。今東感之則見在東，若西感之則見在西。所以有此去來，《華嚴》辨其法身，此經明應迹，故不相違也。《普賢觀經》云「普賢身無量無邊」，欲來此國，入自在神通促身令小，故從東至西也。

The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Sūtra, in praising the Buddha's body, says: "It is not in a direction, nor is it apart from directions. Because it has transcended the three realms, it is not in a direction; because there is no resonance to which it does not respond, it is not apart from directions." Now, if the east evokes it, it is seen in the east; if the west evokes it, it is seen in the west. The reason there is this coming and going is that the Avataṃsaka distinguishes his dharmakāya, whereas this sūtra explains his responsive traces; hence they do not contradict each other. The Samantabhadra-dhyāna-sūtra says: "Samantabhadra's body is immeasurable and boundless." Wishing to come to this land, he entered sovereign supernatural power and contracted his body to make it small; hence he went from east to west.
