金剛般若論會釋 1.98

1.98

後指經成，經云「何以故？如來所說法」等者下，解初「何以故」是安立，分三，初、總屬經，次、釋妨難，後、逐難釋。初文可知。天親論云，「應化非真佛」等，佛有三種，謂法、報、化，釋迦如來是化身，佛不證菩提，亦不說法，故無實法可取、可說，勝義諦中無取、說故，如《無垢稱》難彌勒說。

After pointing to the sūtra to establish this, the sūtra states: "For what reason? The Dharma expounded by the Tathāgata..." and so on downwards, explaining that the first 'for what reason' is establishment, divided into three: first, generally correlating with the sūtra; next, explaining the objection; finally, resolving the objection sequentially. The first passage can be understood. Vasubandhu's treatise states: "The nirmāṇakāya is not the true Buddha" and so on. Buddhas are of three kinds, namely dharma[kāya], saṃbhoga[kāya], and nirmāṇa[kāya]. Śākyamuni Tathāgata is a nirmāṇakāya; the [nirmāṇakāya] Buddha does not realize bodhi, nor does he expound the Dharma, so there is no real dharma that can be grasped or expounded, because within ultimate truth there is no grasping or expounding, just as in the *Vimalakīrtinirdeśa* where [Vimalakīrti] refutes Maitreya's exposition.
