1.23

Eighth, in terms of the body of delimited Samsaric existence at the end of birth and death: upon it, one immediately attains Buddhahood. This refers to the nirmāṇakāya; if speaking in terms of the saṃbhogakāya, after the body of delimited Samsaric existence, one immediately attains Buddhahood. The Commentary says: Speaking in terms of the saṃbhogakāya, one attains Buddhahood after annihilating the body of delimited Samsaric existence. The lower fascicle states: If in the Initial Teaching, for the sake of diverted Śrāvakas, delimited existence is also said to reach the ultimate. The Buddha's body is also like this, yet it is transformative, not real.
