Second, from "speaking of the superior" downwards, indicating the meaning, in two: first, indicating the meaning of the superior and inferior bodies. Regarding "seeking this response body," etc.: Jingxi states: "Within the superior response, the dharmakāya is distinctively marked; yet the text merely says that by seeking the response one attains the Dharma, and does not yet say that the response body is identical to the dharmakāya, because it still carries the expedient inferior response body, and also because the inferior response's physical characteristics are inferior, one cannot seek it to see the dharmakāya. Only when one realizes that extinguished form is itself form can it be seen; how much more so since that which is represented by form is also all-pervading?" Regarding "hence the Lotus Sūtra says," etc.: although citing that sūtra, there are still three meanings: first, taking the inferior as the reason; second, using the superior to rebuke the inferior; third, guiding the small to return to the great. The words about putting on and taking off [robes] are not in the present teaching; this merely directly explains that covering one's body with dust and dirt resembles being terrified. Manifesting the presence of afflictions is like covering one's body with dust and dirt; displaying the same fear of birth and death is like being terrified.
