淨名經集解關中疏 2.441

2.441

爾時世尊問維摩詰。汝欲見如來。為以何等觀如來乎　此品第二顯淨名身土以證經。夫人有勝德說必真當故印定也。文三。初明真身真土。二明應身應土。三欲聞經云利也。初文二。此初問也。前文殊入室論之以無來。身子求經訓之以無求。今淨名見佛見之於無見。此皆會真則言亡。相寂引物則示有去來耳。又二乘初心皆見相跡故因以誨之也。肇曰。向命文殊共來見佛。雖復舉目順俗而致觀不同。如來逆覩其情。將顯其來觀之旨。以明佛事不可思議故知而問。

"At that time the World-Honoured One asked Vimalakīrti: 'You wish to see the Tathāgata; in what way do you view the Tathāgata?'" This is the second section of this chapter, revealing Jingming's body and land to verify the sūtra. When a person possesses superior virtue, their words must be true and fitting; hence they are sealed and confirmed. The text has three parts: first, explaining the true body and true land; second, explaining the response body and response land; third, wishing to hear the sūtra, which speaks of benefit. The first part has two sections; this is the first, the question. Previously, when Mañjuśrī entered the room, he discussed it in terms of non-coming; when Śāriputra sought the sūtra, he instructed him in terms of non-seeking. Now, Jingming's seeing the Buddha sees him in non-seeing. All of these mean that when converging with reality, words cease, yet when marks are tranquil and guiding beings, they manifest coming and going. Furthermore, beginners in the two vehicles all see marks and traces, so he takes the opportunity to instruct them. Zhao says: "Earlier, he bade Mañjuśrī come together to see the Buddha; although raising their eyes and following worldly convention, their manners of viewing were different. The Tathāgata anticipated his intent, and wishing to reveal the purpose of his coming to view, in order to clarify the inconceivable Way of Buddha-activities, he asked while already knowing."
