1.87

With respect to Śākyamuni’s sambhogakāya, these three must be present. First, the dharmakāya is non-dual, and the trace bodies are not one; yet it is not known whether the non-dual body has arising and ceasing or is without arising and ceasing. Therefore he next clarifies that the dharmakāya is without arising and ceasing, while the sambhogakāya has arising and ceasing. Although he clarifies that the dharmakāya is without arising and ceasing and the sambhogakāya has arising and ceasing, it is not known whether Śākyamuni newly realized the dharmakāya or realized the dharmakāya long ago. Therefore, thirdly, he clarifies long ago and recent. All buddhas mostly possess the former two meanings, whereas Śākyamuni fully possesses all three clauses.
