金光明最勝王經疏 2.411

2.411

贊曰：舉空無體喻。初舉喻明、後逐難釋。水鏡，喻有情機。依於光者，喻本願力。空者，喻法如如如如智。影現者，應化身由本願力光合於空法如如等，應化得現所為利他種種事業。或云：空影現者，如無雲翳空，依水鏡處得現其影。言空影者，是世俗所見空青天，青天現影在水鏡中也。空無有青，所見青者，如法如如及如如智上現於應化。或但喻機緣感便現，非如如理現應化身。此約《唯識》及安慧師無見相解。

Commentary: Adducing the simile of space as a non-entity. First, the simile is adduced and explained; second, it is explained according to difficulties raised. The water and mirrors illustrate the capacity of sentient beings. "Due to light" illustrates the power of the primal vow. "Space" illustrates the phenomenon of tathatā and the wisdom of tathatā. "The reflection manifests" means that through the light of the power of the primal vow conjoining with space, the phenomenon of tathatā and so forth, the response and transformation [bodies] can manifest the various activities of benefiting others that they perform. Or it is said: that "the reflection of space manifests" is like cloudless empty space, its reflection can be manifested relying upon water and mirrors. As for the reflection of space, it is the blue sky of space seen by the worldly, the blue sky manifesting its reflection in water and mirrors. Space has no blueness; the blueness seen is like the manifestation of the response and transformation [bodies] upon the phenomenon of tathatā and the wisdom of tathatā. Or it simply illustrates that when the conditions of the spiritual capacity have receptivity, they then manifest, not that the response and transformation bodies manifest from the principle of tathatā. This is interpreted in accord with Vijñaptimātra and Master Sthiramati's non-[existence of] grasping and grasped aspects.
