法華義疏 11.106

11.106

In explaining the fruit of obtaining a pure body among the physical faculties: analogous to the nose sensing fragrances from afar above, the body faculty would also perceive tactile sensations from afar; yet here this meaning is not adopted. It explains that because ordinary people's minds are impure, their body faculties are impure, whereas because the mind of a person upholding the sūtra is pure, whatever is in their body is pure, just as Ānanda's appearance and face were like a bright mirror, in which the forms and appearances of the elderly and the young were all reflected. The verse stating, "Only oneself alone clearly understands": the person upholding the sūtra alone clearly understands; ordinary people do not uphold the sūtra, so they do not see what the bodhisattva sees.
