2.15

"At that time Vimalakīrti said: 'Welcome, Mañjuśrī! Coming with the mark of not coming; seeing with the mark of not seeing'"—this is the third, praising. Kumārajīva says: "In praising him by saying 'welcome,' he wished to clarify that the guest's coming achieved the encounter and the host also received him vacantly. Moreover, as for their seeing one another, departing from that Āmra Grove, [Mañjuśrī] therefore came to behold this manifestation of illness. Now, seeing the dharmakāya mahāsattva does not bring about destruction; hence it is 'good'." Sengzhao says: "Intending to make manifest the dharmakāya mahāsattva, every movement and stir of mind does not contravene the true mark. Through the mark of non-coming he comes; through the true mark of non-seeing they see each other. Being able to come without coming, and being able to see without seeing—being like this, what could be better?"
