This is the third section, explaining the exhortation, which has three parts: first, analyzing the essence of the fruit; and second, clarifying the cultivation of causes. This is the first part. Sengzhao states: "The sūtra says that the dharmakāya is a body like empty space. It has no birth, yet there is nothing it does not give birth to; it has no form, yet there is nothing it does not form. It transcends the bounds of the three realms and goes beyond the sphere of the conscious mind. It is not encompassed by the aggregates or sense fields, and cannot be reached by appellations. Cold and heat cannot trouble it; birth and death cannot transform its substance. Therefore, as an entity, it is subtle and formless, so it cannot be said to exist; it completely responds to myriad forms, so it cannot be said not to exist. Encompassing the eight extremities, it cannot be deemed small; finely penetrating what has no interval, it cannot be deemed large. Thus it can enter and exit birth and death, thoroughly penetrating inexhaustible transformations, manifesting in different regions, and responding to countless requests. This is beyond the deliberation of the two vehicles and unseen by bodhisattvas bound to one last birth; how could an ordinary person without the proper cause dare to direct thought toward it? Relying briefly on the sincere words of the sūtra, I roughly outline its profound extremity. This being so, the dharmakāya is in heaven as heaven and in humanity as humanity; how could one merely abandon the sixteen-foot form near at hand to seek the dharmakāya far away?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.292](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.292) - [Next: 1.294](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.294) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.293) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.190) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.293](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.293) · Pramāṇa
