案僧亮曰：證法即是人也，先就極處說也。常住不變者，以常為證也。僧宗曰：釋往日所言依法之旨也。昔令依法，意在常果。法不異人，即曰依人也。今所言人，體常法者。若依此人，即依常法，常果即法性也。

> Sengliang notes: Proving that the Dharma is identical to the person is explained first in terms of the ultimate. 'Permanently abiding and unchanging' uses permanence as proof. Sengzong says: This explains the intention behind what was previously said about relying on the Dharma. Formerly directing people to rely on the Dharma, the intent lay in the permanent fruit. Dharma is not distinct from the person, which means relying on the person. The person spoken of today is one who embodies the permanent Dharma. If one relies on this person, one relies on the permanent Dharma; the permanent fruit is the dharmatā.
