4.52

[Kumāra]jīva says: There are three kinds of bodhi, namely those of the arhat, the pratyekabuddha, and the tathāgata. When these three persons have exhausted their taints and their wisdom penetrates without obstruction, it is called bodhi. From here below, it praises the true understanding of bodhi as subtly identical to the true mark; if one intends to apply the mind to seek understanding, it should also be like this. It also clarifies that bodhi is itself the true mark, in order to dispel attachment to it. The true mark is the cause of bodhi, and is also called bodhi. The remaining phrases may be understood by analogy. [Seng]zhao says: Subtly uniting with true nature extinguishes the marks of all dharmas; therefore the Way of bodhi and dharmas are both quiescent together. [Dao]sheng says: Since one does not attain bodhi by means of marks, there are no marks of bodhi. If one cannot extinguish all marks, how could one take quiescent extinction as one's essence?"
