維摩經略疏 2.46

2.46

From "having already seen" down are seven lines, broadly praising form and voice, divided into two: first, five lines broadly praise the benefit of form; next, two lines broadly praise the benefit of voice. "Having already seen the Great Sage": this is seeing the Buddha's physical function and supernatural transformations. It is the pure, unimpeded form of the dharmakāya, like a wish-fulfilling jewel and also like a clear mirror; therefore, emitting light and shaking the earth, the buddha-lands of the ten directions all become manifest. This means all dharmas converge into form. Form is the inconceivable treasury; form is the ocean of the dharmadhātu; therefore it is vast like empty space, without boundaries; hence praise is made of the function of meritorious virtues in terms of form.
