Sixth, the gate of the marks of the three bodies; seventh, the gate of attaining mastery through how many masteries; eighth, the gate of how many bases the three bodies rely upon; ninth, the gate of being sustained by how many Buddha-dharmas; tenth, the gate of the enjoyment and transformation bodies not being the dharmakāya; eleventh, the gate of association with virtues: all the above are as explained in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha. Twelfth, the gate of manifestations by sāsrava and anāsrava consciousness, as explained in the Cheng weishi lun. Thirteenth, the gate of the distinctions of pure lands, as explained in another chapter of the Forest of Meanings. Fourteenth, the gate of the distinctions of the three bodies' Dharma teaching, as in the Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra. The meanings and distinctions of these three bodies are boundless; fearing that a voluminous text would be tedious, I have briefly pointed them out. Their marks are comprehensively distinguished in such texts as the Daśabhūmika-sūtra, Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra, Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra, Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra, Nirvāṇa-sūtra, Śrīmālādevī-sūtra, Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra, Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra, Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra; the Yogācārabhūmi, Mahāyānasaṃgraha, the two Prajñā treatises, Abhidharmasamuccaya, Buddhabhūmi-sūtra-śāstra, Cheng weishi lun, Ratnagotravibhāga, and other treatises; as well as the commentaries on the Lotus Sūtra and Vimalakīrti.
