法華玄贊義決 1.65

1.65

法身無久近，以法身無久近，則悟亦無久近。所以然者，悟本於法身，法身既無久近，則知悟之亦無久近；既知久遠悟而無久，當知今近悟亦無近。

The dharmakāya has neither duration nor recency. Since the dharmakāya has neither duration nor recency, awakening also has neither duration nor recency. Why is this? Awakening is rooted in the dharmakāya; since the dharmakāya has neither duration nor recency, one knows that awakening also has neither duration nor recency. Knowing that awakening in the remote past is without duration, one should know that recent awakening at present is also without recency.
