2.28

疏「方以正法自持」,亦二義者,一方者正也、二方者法也,並持自性,通上二義。謂恒沙性德即是相大,並無偏偽,故稱為正;皆可軌持,目之為法。故下經云「凡夫無覺解,佛令住正法。諸法無所住,悟此見自身。」

In the Commentary, "'Square / standard' (fāng) maintains itself by means of the True Dharma," also has two meanings: first, fāng means correct; second, fāng means Dharma (method/standard); both maintain self-nature, running through the two meanings above. That is to say, the nature-virtues [numerous as] the sands of the Ganges are the greatness of characteristics; none are biased or false, hence called "correct"; all can be taken as standards and maintained, designated as "Dharma." Thus a later chapter of the sūtra says: "Ordinary beings lack awakening and understanding; the Buddha causes them to abide in the True Dharma. All phenomena have nowhere to abide; awakening to this, one sees one's own body."
