'Loka' (world) is time; 'antara' (interval) is within it. Because it is made manifest within time, it is called the 'world'. The world is not uniform; there are three kinds: first, the container world (bhājanaloka), which is the supporting locus; second, the world of wisdom-enlightened beings (bodhiloka), who are the transforming masters; third, the world of sentient beings (sattvaloka), who are the capacities to be transformed. The contents of this chapter do not exceed these three; hence it is given this name. The container \[world\] has two kinds: first, specific places such as the bodhimaṇḍa grounds; second, the general place of the Padmagarbha. The wisdom-enlightened beings are also twofold, namely the three bodies and the ten bodies. Sentient beings are also twofold, namely those of shared rebirth and those of different rebirths. 'Pure eye' has three meanings: first, the meaning of penetrating clarity, which illustrates the container world, because it internally penetrates principle. The text below says: 'The dharmadhātu cannot be destroyed, the ocean of Padmagarbha worlds.' Second, the meaning of manifesting forms, which illustrates the wisdom-enlightened beings. The text below says: 'The pure dharmakāya: there is no form that it does not manifest.' Third, the meaning of illumining and beholding, which illustrates the world of sentient beings. The text below says: 'Like a pure eye viewing a bright jewel.' Furthermore, speaking broadly, each of these three worlds possesses the three meanings of 'pure eye'; this can be known by reflection. Alternatively explained: before the Buddha appeared, the world lacked an excellent guide and was therefore like the blind. When the Tathāgata first appeared, the pure eye of the world manifested, hence the name 'Pure Eye of the World'. Therefore, when the Buddha entered nirvāṇa, it was said that the eye of the world was extinguished. 'Chapter' (varga) means category or distinct section. The remaining meanings can be understood \[from this\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.1.87) - [Next: 1.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.1.89) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.1.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.1.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.1.88) · Pramāṇa
