金光明最勝王經疏 3.49

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3.49)

贊曰：此下略解第二句也。此是地前所見之身，謂作佛形逗於地前。四善根位菩薩所見名應，不作餘形故非化。即《梵網經》「周匝千華臺，一國一釋迦。一臺有千葉，千百億釋迦。」即是千箇三千大千世界，一大千界有一大化身。由此經言「三千大千一佛化境」，若二乘等所見一佛，但化一四天下，非大千故。據地上見，他受用身亦名應身非化，今略不論。

> The commentary says: Below this briefly explains the second alternative. This is the body seen by those prior to the stages, meaning it assumes the form of a buddha to correspond to those prior to the stages. That which is seen by bodhisattvas in the position of the four roots of goodness is called a response \[body\]; because it does not assume other forms, it is not an emanation. This is precisely what the Fanwang jing refers to: "Surrounding a thousand-petalled dais, one land has one Śākya. One dais has a thousand petals, and a thousand hundred million Śākyas." These are precisely one thousand trichiliocosms, where one great chiliocosm has one great emanation body. Hence this sūtra says, "A trichiliocosm is the realm of emanation of a single buddha." What is seen by the two vehicles and others is a single buddha who only transforms one fourfold-continent world, not a great chiliocosm. In terms of being seen by those on the stages, the enjoyment-body for others is also called a response body and not an emanation, but here it is briefly not discussed.
