大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 81.83

81.83

疏「然此變化即實如化非要化作」者，謂緣生如化故。若變化作，無而忽有故。《佛地論》第三云「化身三種：一自身相應化，謂自身作輪王等。二他身相應化，謂變化王為佛身等。三非身相應化，化大地為寶等。」今並非此。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "However, this transformation means reality is like an illusion, not necessarily performing magical creation": this means that conditioned origination is like an illusion. If it were magical creation, it would suddenly exist from non-existence. The Buddhabhūmi-śāstra, fascicle three, states: "Transformation bodies are of three kinds: 1. transformation corresponding to one's own body, meaning one's own body becomes a wheel-turning king, etc.; 2. transformation corresponding to another's body, meaning transforming a king into a Buddha body, etc.; 3. transformation corresponding to a non-body, transforming the great earth into jewels, etc." Here, it is none of these.
