維摩經略疏 2.38

2.38

Question: Does the dharmakāya also have marks? Answer: This is the superior response symbolizing the dharmakāya. Tracing this mark of the eyes, one attains the buddha-eye of the dharmakāya; hence praising the response body is praising the buddha-eye of the dharmakāya. The remaining marks are analogous to this. Thus the Lotus Sūtra says: "The wondrous, pure dharmakāya / Is fully endowed with the thirty-two marks." Yet "eye" is a general designation; distinguishing according to its functions, there are five kinds: 1. the fleshly eye, which sees coarse material forms; 2. the heavenly eye, which sees fine material forms of cause and effect; 3. the wisdom eye, which sees the principle of biased truth in coarse and fine form and mind; 4. the Dharma eye, which sees coarse form and fine mind, and the dharmas of the conventional truth of causes, conditions, and provisional names; 5. the buddha-eye, which sees the principle of the Middle Way, complete and true buddha-nature, and can also simultaneously illuminate both coarse and fine, causes and conditions, phenomena and principle.
