大方廣佛華嚴經疏 4.21

4.21

Second, from "The body constantly" onward, shows the surpassing majesty of the body of majestic power. That is, in accordance with what sentient beings delight in, it manifests differentiated reflections of the enjoyment-body and its lands, leaving none unpervaded. As for the words "all bodhimaṇḍas," there are briefly ten kinds: first, the wisdom-body universally seated in the bodhimaṇḍa of dharmatā; second, the dharmakāya seated in the bodhimaṇḍa by non-sitting; third, the teaching-gate body comfortably seated in the bodhimaṇḍa of the ten thousand practices; fourth, the illusory transformation-body comfortably seated in the bodhimaṇḍa of the water-moon; these four are brought in because of their suitability of meaning. If directly in terms of the body of majestic power, six classes of bodhimaṇḍas are briefly distinguished: first, bodhimaṇḍas pervading all worlds of the same kind, as spoken in the "Chapter on the Names" and so forth; second, all worlds of different kinds, meaning tree-shaped and the like, as in the "Chapter on the Formation of the Worlds"; third, within all world-species; fourth, within all world-oceans, both as spoken in "Padmagarbha"; fifth, within all dust motes, as the text says: "Just as at this assembly one sees the Buddha seated, / in all dust motes it is also like this" and so forth; sixth, the inexhaustible bodhimaṇḍas of lands and dust motes of Indra's net. Combining these with the previous ten kinds, it therefore says "all." In "among the assemblies of bodhisattvas, his majestic radiance blazed brilliantly," it directly reveals that his majestic power surpasses all, surpassing even those who are superior. Mentioning only the bodhisattvas does not mean he does not surpass the rest; like the disc of the sun rising to illuminate the world, this is shown by way of a metaphor: illuminating the mountains as it rises and sets without concealment or appearance, appearing in full in every place without different essences, this illustrates universally sitting in the bodhimaṇḍas. The great illumination streaming through the sky eclipses the remaining radiance, and the brilliance of the blazing sun is difficult to fathom in its bounds, illustrating that his majestic radiance outshines the bodhisattvas so that the bodhisattvas cannot measure it. Since it says "illuminating the world," it ultimately benefits those who are born blind, but "first illuminating the high mountains" speaks exclusively of the bodhisattvas.
