第七觀佛十事觀於三身。若依小乘,初五法身,以無漏戒等及眷屬無漏五蘊為法身故。次二報身,以三祇百劫所修感相好故。次一化身,神通化現故。業行通為三身之因,果報通語三身之果。若依大乘,前八皆是化身,後一報身。業行通語二身之因,涅槃是果,離繫果故。菩提是報,報本願故。今一一推徵,若一是佛,餘者應非。一一皆佛則有多佛,和合成佛則無自性。故《中論》云「非陰不離陰,此彼不相在。如來不有陰,何處有如來。」陰合為如來,則無有自性。進退推求,佛體寂滅,尚非是有,豈當是無?邪見深厚者,則說無如來。諸法性空中,思惟亦不可。是知真佛既超心境,依斯成行,行豈相耶?

Seventh, contemplating the ten matters of the Buddha contemplates the three bodies. If based on the Hīnayāna: the first five are the dharmakāya, because the uncorrupted precepts, etc., and the uncorrupted five aggregates of their retinue are the dharmakāya. The next two are the saṃbhogakāya, because they are the physical marks and minor signs induced by cultivation over three asaṃkhyeyas and a hundred kalpas. The next one is the nirmāṇakāya, because it is manifested through supernormal powers. Karmic practice broadly serves as the cause of the three bodies; fruition broadly refers to the fruit of the three bodies. If based on the Mahāyāna: the first eight are all the nirmāṇakāya, and the last one is the saṃbhogakāya. Karmic practice broadly refers to the cause of the two bodies; nirvāṇa is the fruit, being the fruit of disjunction; bodhi is the recompense, recompensing the original vows. Now, examining them one by one: if one were the Buddha, the others should not be. If each and every one were the Buddha, there would be many Buddhas; if they combine to form the Buddha, there is no self-nature. Therefore the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā says: "Neither the aggregates nor separate from the aggregates; this and that do not abide in each other. The Tathāgata does not possess the aggregates; where is there a Tathāgata?" If the aggregates combine to make the Tathāgata, there is no self-nature. Examining back and forth, the Buddha's essence is quiescent: it is not even existent, how could it be non-existent? Those with deep, gross wrong views say there is no Tathāgata. Within the emptiness of the intrinsic nature of all dharmas, reflection is also impossible. From this we know that since the true Buddha transcends mind and object, when practice is accomplished based on this, how could practice have marks?
