金剛般若經旨贊 2.139

2.139

經。須菩提至有佛眼不。贊曰。此問佛眼也。覺道圓滿故稱為佛。普觀理事故名為眼。佛眼有二。一總二別。總謂攬前四眼。所成如四河流。總聚名海。別謂佛身。以一切種無功用智而為體性。前之四眼名別。因位未通離障見境未周自利利他。尚猶賤劣等令圓勝故修佛眼。今將顯佛令此見淨故。先問起如來有不。

Sūtra: “Subhūti, […] does [the Tathāgata] possess the Buddha eye?” / Commentary: This asks about the Buddha eye. Because the path of awakening is complete, he is called "Buddha"; because he universally contemplates principle and phenomena, it is called the "eye." The Buddha eye has two aspects: general and specific. The general aspect brings together the preceding four eyes, formed like four rivers gathering into what is called the ocean. The specific aspect refers to the Buddha's body, taking effortless wisdom of all modes as its intrinsic nature. The previous four eyes are called "specific"; in the causal stages they have not yet penetrated all, their freedom from obstructions and seeing of objects are not yet complete, and their self-benefit and benefiting of others are still inferior. Bodhisattvas cultivate the Buddha eye so that these may become complete and supreme. Now, intending to show that the Buddha brings this purity of seeing to fulfillment, he first asks whether the Tathāgata possesses it or not.
