Sengzong states: The previous passage clarified the absence of extinction; this clarifies the absence of illness. The chapter "Manifesting Illness" below extensively clarifies that illness is not real. Tanxian states: The text below says: "Now all behold the bodhisattvas, their bodily forms wondrous, exceedingly great and exceedingly marvelous." They only see the Buddha's body, compared to a medicinal tree, surrounded by all the bodhisattvas. This shows that internally and externally there is no illness, answering this question.
