金光明經文句記 4.86

4.86

Second, he shows this with reference to the present sūtra. Since it speaks of the Dharma-nature, the nature does not change. This is the virtue of permanence; the real mark is the mark of the reality of the middle. This chapter says 'seeking the Tathāgata's true Dharma-body,' and the new translation says 'the Dharma-body is permanent and real'; 'real' is the virtue of the self, whose unhindered mastery has no end. Since it is endowed with permanence and self, how could bliss and purity be lacking? The four virtues become all the more manifest; this is the meaning of immeasurable emptiness.
