大般涅槃經集解 5.92

5.92

Fayao comments: Once Mañjuśrī prompted him, fearing that people would think the sixteen-foot body is entirely identical to ordinary mortals, Cunda therefore further clarifies that it is merely a manifestation of conformity: how could [the Buddha] truly need it? Sengzong comments: Cunda reveals that the dharmakāya does not eat, and thus adduces the past to illustrate the present.
