問:來與見何殊?答:來是三智,見是五眼。《法華》云「為令眾生開佛知見」,又云「如來知見廣大無量」,即其義也。復次圓教菩薩從發心住知四不可說,得一心三觀三智五眼,將果望因心心寂滅自然流入妙覺大海,故言不來相而來。五眼轉明,至果位時圓見法界,故云不見相而見。

Question: How do "coming" and "seeing" differ? Answer: Coming is the three wisdoms; seeing is the five eyes. The Lotus Sūtra says, "to cause sentient beings to open the knowledge and vision of the Buddha," and further says, "the Tathāgata's knowledge and vision are vast and immeasurable," which is this very meaning. Furthermore, bodhisattvas of the Perfect teaching, from the stage of the initial aspiration, know the four ineffables and attain the one mind with the threefold contemplation, the three wisdoms, and the five eyes; looking toward the cause from the fruit, mind upon mind is quenched, naturally flowing into the great ocean of Wondrous Enlightenment; hence it is said, "coming without marks of coming." The five eyes become increasingly clear, and upon reaching the fruit stage, one sees the dharma-realm completely; hence it is said, "seeing without marks of seeing."
