2.127

Speaking in terms of the three bodies, this is now the nirmāṇakāya. Distinguishing between oneself and others, the previous two are called virtues for oneself, and the latter two are virtues of transforming others. Regarding "profundity of entry": the Tathāgata expounds the teaching to cause people to awaken and enter; regarding the principle, he can abide and sustain it with sovereign mastery, unlike non-Buddhists who speak of the dharma of causes and conditions. What non-Buddhists preach falls either into wrong causes or into no-cause. Furthermore, "causes and conditions" refers to the "reason why"; the "reason why" is the meaning. The teachings of non-Buddhists have words without meaning; the Buddha's Dharma is not like that.
