維摩經略疏 1.38

1.38

問：何等是三種意生身？答：一、三昧正受。此恐是通教同入真空寂定之樂，故《涅槃》云「聲聞定力多，故不見佛性。」二、覺法自性。此恐是別教菩薩，雖證偏真而覺知有中道法性。三、無作。此恐是圓教菩薩觀於中道無作四諦，圓伏無明。皆言意者，未發真修猶是作意，無明為緣、無漏業為因，即此彼土受法性身。

Question: What are the three kinds of mind-made bodies? Answer: 1. Samādhi-attainment: this is likely the joy of entering the tranquil concentration of true emptiness shared in the shared teaching; hence the Nirvāṇa Sūtra states, 'Because the concentration power of śrāvakas is excessive, they do not see the Buddha-nature.' 2. Awakening to the self-nature of dharmas: this is likely bodhisattvas of the separate teaching, who, although realizing biased truth, awaken and know that there is the dharma-nature of the Middle Way. 3. Inaction: this is likely bodhisattvas of the perfect teaching who contemplate the Middle Way of the four noble truths of inaction and perfectly subdue fundamental ignorance. All are called 'mind-made' because, before launching true cultivation, there is still deliberate intent; with fundamental ignorance as condition and untainted karma as cause, in that other land they receive a body of dharma-nature.
