金光明經文句記 5.102

5.102

三、初一問答，明法外無餘。言法不作報非報者，非報是應。難云：三身秖一法界，豈有能作作所作耶？而言依法者，此同體依，依而復即全體之用，用還依體。二一問答，報即法界、影是應身、非影是化身，以現九界非佛像故。法界下注云云者，更合明於應是法界，三同祕藏，豈有一身非法界耶？三、「又並」下一問答，明機外無應。三身一體，人或信之，其所對機多謂他境，故今顯示令泯此疑，二：初、設並顯。動譬機生，不能覩應。不動譬機熟，則能覩應。水譬正因。安樂性者，即大涅槃既是三德，性必妙融，寧非法界？故〈自他不二門〉云「物機無量，不出三千。能應雖多，不出十界。物機應契，身土無偏。同常寂光，無非法界。」若昧此意，勿議今宗。

Third, the first question and answer explains that outside of the Dharma there is nothing remaining. Saying that the Dharma does not produce the reward or non-reward: the non-reward is the response. The objection says: The three bodies are just the one Dharma realm; how could there be that which can produce and that which is produced? And as for saying "relying on the Dharma": this is reliance of the identical substance; relying and yet directly being the function of the whole substance, the function in turn relies on the substance. The second question and answer: the reward is the Dharma realm, the shadow is the response body, and the non-shadow is the transformation body, because it manifests the nine realms and is not the Buddha image. The note below the Dharma realm says "and so forth", which should further explain that the response is the Dharma realm: the three are equally the secret treasury—how could a single body not be the Dharma realm? Third, the question and answer from "Further, side-by-side..." onward explains that outside of capacity there is no response. That the three bodies are one substance may perhaps be believed by people, but the capacities to which they correspond are mostly regarded as other objects; therefore, it is now revealed to eliminate this doubt, in two [parts]: first, setting up side-by-side to reveal it. Movement is a metaphor for the capacity arising, unable to see the response. Motionlessness is a metaphor for the capacity being mature, being able to see the response. Water is a metaphor for the direct cause. The nature of peace and bliss: namely, Mahāparinirvāṇa, since it is the three virtues, its nature is necessarily wonderfully harmonious; how could it not be the Dharma realm? Therefore, the "Gate of Non-Duality of Self and Other" says: "The capacities of living beings are boundless, yet do not go beyond the three thousand. Though those capable of responding are many, they do not go beyond the ten realms. The living beings' capacity and the response accord; body and land are not biased. Together in the Eternally Quiescent Light, there is nothing that is not the Dharma realm." If one is dim about this meaning, one should not discuss our school.
