大乘起信論裂網疏 5.70

5.70

This is precisely the meaning in the Avataṃsaka of 'upon the initial generation of the mind, one immediately achieves correct awakening.' Partially breaking through ignorance and partially realizing tathatā, it therefore says 'attaining a partial vision of the Buddha's dharmakāya.' Having seen the dharmakāya, one can immediately accomplish the Way through the eight aspects, which is the so-called pure, wondrous dharmakāya serenely responding to all. The opening, joining, appearing, and disappearing of the eight aspects are not identical, and are all seen in accordance with the faculties [of beings]; one need not judge the provisional or real of a Buddha based on this, because the dharmakāya realized is not something whose provisionality, reality, or quantity can be conceived.
