3.57

Second, separately setting forth the praise of the three mysteries, in two parts: first, dividing the sections and giving a general presentation. As for "these are the three wheels," and so on, turning oneself and others, and being able to crush others' delusions—these two meanings are called 'wheels.' Since there are no faults, there is no need for protection. Second, from "The Great Sage" onward, commenting separately on the text, in three parts: first, praising the mystery of the body. From "Those of pure mind" onward, it explains the pure mind with two meanings: first, in terms of hearing the teaching; second, in terms of cultivation and practice. Furthermore, the first is a shallow stage, and the second is a deep stage. As for "Just as a single moon," and so on, the moon must depend on the sky: the sky is an analogy for the dharmakāya, the moon is an analogy for the saṃbhogakāya, the reflection is an analogy for the nirmāṇakāya, and the various waters are analogies for the capacities of the four teachings. From "Or seeing" onward, it manifests the bodies of the four teachings.
