注大乘入楞伽經 5.2

5.2

[The commentary says:] The phenomena of the world do not go beyond the five skandhas; here again the collections of names, phrases, and syllables are clarified in terms of the five skandhas. A collection of phrases being like footprints means: just as people in the world who lose an elephant or horse find it by tracking footprints, so those who are ignorant of dharmatā are also awakened through words. This is called a collection of phrases; the characteristics of the form skandha are apparent, so it is spoken of using 'footprints'. The four skandhas are sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness; because they have no physical form, they are spoken of using names. If one illuminates and sees that they are fundamentally tranquil, these are all dharmatā. Both are revealed by syllables, and he encourages that one should cultivate and study them. Because ancient noble ones awakened and entered through this, they gave up their entire bodies to seek half a verse.
