18.87

Regarding the commentary’s "Fourth, the illusory transformation body serenely sits in the water-moon bodhimaṇḍa": the *Nirvāṇa-sūtra* says: "This body of mine at present is an illusory body. Thus the place where the Way is attained is like the moon in the water." Therefore, ancients said: "Cultivating the sky-flower myriad practices, serenely sitting in the water-moon bodhimaṇḍa, subduing the mirror-image heavenly māras, and realizing the dream-like fruit of Buddhahood." The meaning is: causes and fruits alike arise from conditions, because they are like illusions and dreams. Second, citation. On the commentary’s "If properly in terms of majesty..." downward: it specifically distinguishes how one of the ten bodies sits in six classes of bodhimaṇḍas, simply moving from the narrow to the broad. Since majesty applies to transformation and to the body of enjoyment for others, it is in terms of the various lands gradually expanding and pervasively filling the dharmadhātu, and even layer upon layer.
