當知。阿難諸如來身即是法身。非思欲身 此下四廣顯真身。初就四德顯真。此初無相法身大悲應現非思業。貪欲之所牽生。自在應物。是我德也。三界有待之形名思欲身也。生曰。如來身從實理中來起。不由彼應有何病耶。

"You should know, Ānanda, that the bodies of the Tathāgatas are dharmakāyas, not bodies of thought and desire." Below, fourth, broadly revealing the true body. First, revealing the real in terms of the four virtues. Here, first, the markless dharmakāya manifests responsively out of great compassion; it is not born from the pull of conceptual karma and greedy desire. Responding to beings with sovereignty—this is the virtue of selfhood. The forms of the three realms that depend on conditions are called "bodies of thought and desire." Daosheng says: "The body of the Tathāgata arises from within true principle; it does not come about through that [karma]. How could it have any illness?"
