8.34

案僧宗曰:向問般若,此問法身。上明無盡,此明不壞。如世金剛,體不可壞、能壞萬物。取譬法身,三相不能移其神、萬化莫能變其體也。寶亮曰:體相身命,實乃不殊;就義而辨,不得無異。身當法體,命語始終,故分為二問也。智秀曰:此第三問法身果也。

Sengzong states: The previous asked about prajñā; this asks about the dharmakāya. The above clarified inexhaustibility; this clarifies indestructibility. Like worldly diamond (vajra), its substance cannot be destroyed, yet it can destroy all things. Drawing the analogy to the dharmakāya: the three marks cannot alter its spirit, and the myriad transformations cannot change its substance. Baoliang states: The substance, marks, body, and lifespan are in truth not different; yet discerning them according to meaning, they cannot lack distinction. The body corresponds to the substance of the Dharma, while life speaks of beginning and end; hence they are divided into two questions. Zhixiu states: This is the third question, on the fruition of the dharmakāya.
