楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 4.20

4.20

The four lines beginning with 'Completely free' comprehensively praise the Buddha as free from lakṣaṇas. 'Aggregates and conditions': 'aggregates' means the five aggregates; 'conditions' means the conditions of clinging, such as the realms (dhātu) and sense bases (āyatana); 'Sambuddha' means the Dharmakāya. 'Identity and difference cannot be seen' means that between the Dharmakāya of the Sambuddha and the painful path of birth and death, no lakṣaṇa of identity or difference can be seen. Since there is no person who can see, how could there be a dharma of identity or difference that could be differentiated? The four lines beginning with 'Neither action' directly reveal the Middle Way of the Dharmakāya. 'Other impurities' means the faults and errors of phenomena. The four lines beginning with 'Nor having' are free from the two views of existence and nonexistence, stating that the Dharma-body of the Tathāgata is seen through the false discrimination of ordinary worldlings; although it is free from all lakṣaṇas, it is also not without the real lakṣaṇa that can be seen. 'This dharma's nature is just so' means that regarding this Dharmakāya, one cannot say it exists, nor can one say it does not exist; it is naturally so by the nature of dharmas.
