維摩義記 1.36

1.36

下次頌前所現神變。「既見大聖以神變」者，頌歎向前合蓋之事。「既」謂「已」也，「以」猶「用」也。前以見佛用神通力合蓋為一，故云既見以神變矣。「普現」已下，頌前蓋中所現事也。向前蓋中通現此土及他方事，今此偏頌他方之事，此土之事在後別頌。「普現十方無量土」者，現其化處。「其中諸佛」，現其化主。「演說法」者，現其化相。「於是一切悉見聞」者，由佛普現，於是會中一切大眾悉見十方無量佛土，及見彼佛、聞其說也。

Next, it versifies the supernatural transformation manifested previously. "Having seen the Great Sage through his supernatural transformation" versifies and praises the preceding merging of the canopies. "Having" (既) means "already" (已); "through" (以) means "using" (用). Since they had previously seen the Buddha use his supernatural powers to merge the canopies into one, it says "having seen [him] through his supernatural transformation." From "Universally manifesting" downward, it versifies the phenomena manifested previously in the canopy. Previously, within the canopy, the phenomena of both this land and other regions were universally manifested; now, this selectively versifies the phenomena of other regions, whereas the phenomena of this land are separately versified later. "Universally manifesting the immeasurable lands of the ten directions" manifests the places of his transformation. "The Buddhas within them" manifests the masters of the transformation. "Expounding the Dharma" manifests the aspects of the transformation. "Whereupon all saw and heard" means that because of the Buddha's universal manifestation, all the great assembly within this gathering completely saw the immeasurable Buddha-lands of the ten directions, saw those Buddhas, and heard their teachings.
