52.6

疏「因他受用而有所作非自事故」者,三約自他釋。然曲有二義:一自他隱顯義、二自他相作義。前中,語則是一,義乃有二:一約見他受用身土名而有所作,非自受用之自事故。二者大悲為首一向利他,非由自己而有其事。二「自他」下,明自他相作義,如第八地十身相作。經云「此菩薩能隨眾生心之所樂,能以自身作國土身、眾生身、業報身、聲聞身、緣覺身、菩薩身、如來身、法身、智身、虛空身。」此即自作他也。「又隨眾生心之所樂,能以眾生身作自身。」即他作自也。若令眾生身作國土身、菩提身等,亦有以他作他,今但取自他相作之義。然自作他如自身,無作他作自,如令他化作樂具。又自作他,如為他化作樂具。他作自,如他為己化作樂具。故云「自他相作皆自在故」。

Regarding the commentary's "Because of acting dependent on another's enjoyment, and not for one's own affairs": third, explaining in terms of self and other. In detail, there are two meanings: first, the meaning of concealment and manifestation of self and other; second, the meaning of self and other mutually acting. In the former, the phrasing is singular, but the meaning is twofold: first, in terms of seeing the name of the other-enjoyment body and land and acting, rather than the self-affairs of self-enjoyment; second, taking great compassion as primary, it is purely for benefiting others, not having its actions stemming from oneself. Second, from "Self and other" onward: clarifying the meaning of self and other mutually acting, like the ten bodies mutually acting in the eighth stage. The sūtra says: "This bodhisattva, according with what the minds of sentient beings delight in, can make their own body into a land-body, sentient being-body, karmic retribution-body, śrāvaka-body, pratyekabuddha-body, bodhisattva-body, tathāgata-body, dharmakāya, wisdom-body, or space-body." This is self making other. "Furthermore, according with what the minds of sentient beings delight in, they can make a sentient being-body into their own body." This is other making self. If one causes a sentient being-body to become a land-body, bodhi-body, and so forth, this is also other making other; now we only take the meaning of self and other mutually acting. Self making other is like one's own body having no creation while the other makes self, like having another transform into articles of pleasure. Furthermore, self making other is like transforming into articles of pleasure for another; other making self is like another transforming into articles of pleasure for oneself. Hence it says: "Because self and other mutually acting are both masterly and free."
