法苑珠林 13.7

13.7

夫大聖有平等之相。弟子有稱揚之德。故十方諸佛。同出於淤泥之濁。三身正覺。俱坐於蓮臺之上。隨念何相。皆得利益。所謂始從出家終成正覺。於其中間。道樹降魔。鹿野說法。相好圓滿。光明炳著。身色清淨。事等鎔金。面貌端嚴。猶如滿月。齒同珂雪。髮似光螺。目譬青蓮。眉方翠柳。八音響亮。萬相雍容。五眼洞明。六通遙颺。懸河寫辯。連注投機。圓三點以成身。具五分而為體。帶權實以度物。隨真應以化人。或扇廣大之慈風。灑滂沱之法雨。能使身田被潤。即吐無上之牙。心樹既榮。便茂不彫之葉。不來相而來。不見相而見。為眾生故。隨緣應現。十方十億並願歷侍。三千大千俱得親承。長種福田廣興供養。吐邪倒之根。拔貪嗔之本。修念佛之因。證見佛之果。故法華經偈云。

Now, the Great Sage possesses marks of equality, and his disciples possess the virtue of praise. Thus the Buddhas of the ten directions together emerge from the defilement of mire, and the Sambodhis of the three bodies together sit upon lotus pedestals. Whichever mark one contemplates, benefits are attained: namely, beginning with renouncing the household life and culminating in the realization of supreme awakening; in the interval between, subduing Māra beneath the Bodhi tree and turning the Wheel of Dharma in the Deer Park. His major marks and minor signs are complete; his radiance is luminous and bright. The color of his body is pure, equivalent to molten gold. His facial features are upright and dignified, like the full moon. His teeth are like white jade and snow; his hair resembles glossy conch shells. His eyes are likened to blue lotuses; his eyebrows rival verdant willows. His eightfold voice is resonant; his myriad marks are dignified and serene. The five eyes see through all, and the six supernormal powers extend far and wide. His eloquence gushes like a suspended river, pouring continuously to meet each capacity. Completing the three dots of the letter 'I' to form the body, he is endowed with the fivefold Dharma-body as his essence. Incorporating the provisional and the real to deliver living beings, he accords with the true and the responsive to transform people. He stirs the vast wind of great compassion and sprinkles the torrential rain of the Dharma, watering the field of the body so that it sprouts the unsurpassed shoot, and causing the tree of the mind to flourish with leaves that never wither. Coming without the mark of coming, he is seen without the mark of being seen. For the sake of living beings, he responds and manifests according to conditions. Ten billion realms in the ten directions all aspire to attend upon him; three thousand great-thousand worlds together receive his personal care. Ever planting the puṇyakṣetra and broadly establishing offerings, they uproot the foundation of inverted views and eradicate the root of greed and anger; cultivating the cause of mindfulness of the Buddha, they realize the fruit of seeing the Buddha. Therefore, a verse in the Lotus Sūtra says:
