### [47.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.47.28)

案僧亮曰：說眾生相者，自言我是人中師子。諸法各各別異相者，如眼不見香、耳不覩色，諸佛不爾也。唯有一相者，可以法身為目，不可以六根分別也。〈金剛身品〉云「除一法相」，不可以人天一相而名也。如來法界者，如來法性也。久已遠離諸相者，上明三十二相，下明如來久離此事也。善知諸相者，隨眾生應見諸相，善知應之也。虛空相故者，空無分別，如來不爾。

> Sengliang comments: Regarding 'explaining the characteristics of sentient beings,' \[the Buddha\] himself states that he is a lion among men. Regarding 'the distinct and diverse characteristics of all phenomena,' it is like the eye not smelling fragrances and the ear not seeing forms; the Buddhas are not like this. Regarding 'having only a single characteristic,' this may be designated by means of the dharmakāya, and cannot be differentiated by the six sense faculties. The 'Vajrakāya Chapter' states, 'excluding the characteristic of a single phenomenon,' meaning that he cannot be named by the single characteristic of humans or devas. Regarding 'the dharmadhātu of the Tathāgata,' this is the dharmatā of the Tathāgata. Regarding 'having long since transcended all characteristics,' the above clarified the thirty-two marks, while the below clarifies that the Tathāgata has long transcended this matter. Regarding 'skillfully knowing all characteristics,' in accordance with the characteristics that sentient beings ought to see, he skillfully knows how to respond to them. Regarding 'because of having the characteristic of space,' space has no distinctions; the Tathāgata is not like \[ordinary entities\].
