25.14

疏「身相如空法性身也」者,疏文有二:先略釋經文、後問答廣顯。今初,具四身土,前半即一法性身土,具如疏釋。後半有二身土,謂「受用」字即他受用,「化」字即是變化,順經示現故。其自受用含在前半,以身如虛空自受用相。良以經有非國土言,故但屬法性身土耳。

Regarding the commentary's "The mark of the body being like empty space is the dharmatākāya": the text of the commentary has two parts: first, a brief explanation of the sūtra text, and second, questions and answers that expand and illuminate it. Now, in the first part, the four bodies and lands are complete: the first half is the single dharmatā body and land, fully as explained in the commentary. The second half has two bodies and lands: the word "enjoyment" (saṃbhoga) refers to [enjoyment for] the enjoyment of others (parasaṃbhogakāya), while the word "transformation" (nirmāṇa) refers to transformation, in accordance with the sūtra's "manifesting." The body for one's own enjoyment (svasaṃbhogakāya) is implicitly contained in the first half, because the body being like empty space is the mark of self-enjoyment. Truly because the sūtra has the statement "not a land," it belongs exclusively to the dharmatā body and land.
