金剛般若經旨贊 2.228

2.228

經。世尊如來至是名世界　贊曰。此下善現以世界喻顯令知總蘊是空。於中分三。初標舉次徵起後解釋。此初也。如來所說三千界者。總聚世界。積微所成。喻彼內身眾生世界。總攬五蘊多分所成。即非世界者。以彼所成無實體故。內亦無自體。是名世界者。但假名世界。假名故由以外界喻觀內身無實相故能離執惑。又如外界攬眾微成無有體相。但能起彼微塵眾故名世界。所顯法身攬萬德成無有諸相。以能起名化身耳。

Sūtra: "World-Honoured One, the Tathāgata... this is called a world." Commentary: Below, Subhūti uses the simile of the world to reveal and cause one to know that the total aggregates are empty. Within this, there are three parts: first, stating the topic; second, raising the inquiry; third, explaining. This is the first. The three-thousandfold world spoken of by the Tathāgata is a globally aggregated world, formed by accumulating subtle parts; it illustrates that internal body of the world of sentient beings, formed largely by gathering the five aggregates. "Is not a world": because what is so formed has no real substance, the internal also has no intrinsic nature. "Is called a world": it is merely conventionally called a world. Because it is a conventional designation, by using the external world as a simile to contemplate that the internal body has no real marks, one can depart from clinging and delusion. Furthermore, just as the external world is formed by gathering many subtle parts and has no essential mark, yet can arouse that collection of atoms and is therefore called a world, so the revealed Dharmakāya is formed by gathering the myriad virtues and has no marks, yet because it can arouse them, it is called the transformation body.
