佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 1.21

1.21

第四見身同異者，如大梵王見佛身長千尺，又如應持菩薩見佛身長丈六，即便量佛頂上過無數世界至華上佛剎，還見如來身長丈六。如《報恩經》云：「外道見佛如孩子想，如聲聞人但見丈六身，菩薩見無邊身，諸佛見法性身。」所以《華嚴經》曰：「譬如淨滿月，水水悉能現，影像雖無量，本質未差別。諸佛法如是，隨感現眾像，化相雖無量，法體無差別。」此則第四見身同異竟。

Regarding the fourth, the sameness and difference of seeing the body: as the Great Brahmā King saw the Buddha's body as a thousand feet tall, and again as Bodhisattva Dharadhara saw the Buddha's body as sixteen feet tall, he then measured above the Buddha's uṣṇīṣa, passing through countless worlds to the Flower-Surpassed Buddha-field, and still saw the Tathāgata's body as sixteen feet tall. As the *Bao'en jing* says: 'Non-Buddhists see the Buddha with the notion of a child; people of the śrāvaka vehicle only see a sixteen-foot body; bodhisattvas see a boundless body; all Buddhas see the Dharma-nature body.' Therefore the *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* states: 'Just like the pure full moon / can appear in every body of water; / although its reflected images are limitless, / its original substance is undifferentiated. / The Dharma of all Buddhas is like this: / appearing as various images according to resonance; / although the manifested forms are limitless, / the Dharma-essence is undifferentiated.' This concludes the fourth, the sameness and difference of seeing the body.
