金光明經文句記 3.342

3.342

Third, from "thus" downward, clarifying the general in terms of the four virtues. The sūtra says: "All Buddhas are pure," which specifies the fruit to clarify virtue. Among the virtues in the fruit, there is none that is not assembled; bringing up the one pure virtue necessarily includes permanence, bliss, and self. The four virtues are complete and wondrous, and bringing up one completely gathers all; therefore, these four are the virtues of the three bodies. Because the three bodies are fused, the four virtues pervasively adorn them; therefore, the three bodies are none other than the four virtues. Unifying this in praise reaches the utmost of the Buddha's essence and function. Pointing this out now, the notes state "and so forth."
