3.154

法華教主。準四明立義。法華所明三十二相名尊特者。以即法身故。是則生身即法身者。便為尊特。此就開權即劣顯勝而明尊特龍女欲彰開權妙相。故云法身具三十二相。此一一相全理顯現。法身遍故三十二相相相周遍。法具萬德相亦須具。此之妙身不名尊特。更指何身為尊特邪。此則永異淨覺定是生身之義。至若即一論三者。秖三十二相如來妙力。為三藏示有分齊。名曰生身。秖三十二相如來妙力。為從通入別機示無分齊。名為尊特。秖三十二相如來妙力。為圓教機示一一相。即是本性所具法門。名為法身。由三種機感者如來。即於一身示三種相。

Regarding the Lord of the Lotus Teaching, based on Siming's established doctrine: the thirty-two marks clarified in the Lotus are named "honored and special" because they are identical to the dharmakāya. Therefore, when the physical body is identical to the dharmakāya, it is then the honored and special. This clarifies the honored and special in terms of opening the expedient, whereby the inferior is identical to the revealed superior. The dragon girl wished to make known the wondrous marks of opening the expedient, and therefore said that the dharmakāya is endowed with the thirty-two marks. Each and every one of these marks is a complete manifestation of principle; because the dharmakāya is omnipresent, the thirty-two marks are mark by mark all-pervading. The Dharma is endowed with ten thousand virtues, and the marks must also be fully possessed. If this wondrous body were not called honored and special, what other body could be pointed to as honored and special? This is forever distinct from Jingjue's doctrine that it is definitively the physical body. As for discussing three in identity with one: it is merely through the Tathāgata's wondrous power of the thirty-two marks that, for the Tripiṭaka, [the body] is shown to have delimitations and is named the physical body; merely through the Tathāgata's wondrous power of the thirty-two marks that, for capacities transitioning from the common to the distinct, it is shown to be without delimitations and is named the honored and special; and merely through the Tathāgata's wondrous power of the thirty-two marks that, for capacities of the perfect teaching, each and every mark is shown to be precisely the Dharma methods inherently possessed by original nature, and is named the dharmakāya. Because three kinds of capacities evoke the Tathāgata, he shows three kinds of marks upon a single body.
