涅槃經遊意 1.174

1.174

「地論」明三佛皆有色作身，色可知。釋身色者如經，一一相海無量，諸相雖有此色，而不可見。《地經》說佛相好，為實報身也。法身色者，如來藏中色性法門顯現成佛體。體雖是色，而無色相。如比丘無作，雖是色性，而無色相。又云：法身出生，法則無盡色像。又云：無礙之色，如無像之形，不同下地因中也。

The *Dilun* explains that all three Buddhas have forms that constitute their bodies, and their forms are knowable. Explaining the forms of their bodies: as the sūtra says, each and every ocean of marks is immeasurable; though these forms exist in the marks, they cannot be seen. The *Daśabhūmika Sūtra* speaks of the Buddha's marks and characteristics as the actual reward body. As for the form of the dharmakāya, the dharma-gate of the nature of form within the tathāgatagarbha becomes manifest to form the Buddha's essence. Although the essence is form, it lacks the signs of form. Just as the non-manifesting [precepts] of a monk, though being of the nature of form, lack the signs of form. It also states: when the dharmakāya arises, its dharmas are inexhaustible forms and images. It also states: unobstructed form is like an imageless shape, unlike the causal stages of the lower grounds.
