大般涅槃經集解 49.36

49.36

Sengliang states: 'Relying on the four great elements of the desire realm' means cultivating and attaining the power of the divine eye based on the concentrations of the desire realm. 'All are signs of bones' means the consciousness of the divine eye is able to see impurity. 'Empty signs of all dharmas, seeing signs of causes and conditions' means perceiving both emptiness and existence. Baoliang states: Below this, the power of the divine eye is clarified. Clarifying the divine eye here means not only seeing form, but also seeing the good and bad minds of sentient beings, up to knowing the ultimate truth; therefore it is spoken of as knowing.
