2.73

[Treatise:] Second, relying on ... is called the sambhogakāya.
[Exposition:] Below, the sambhogakāya is revealed. In this, there are three parts: first, stating the person in terms of consciousness to clarify what is seen; second, directly revealing the two retributions relying on mind; third, revealing the fruit and cause to explain the name of the reward. This is the first. Bodhisattvas from the ten understandings and above, relying on karmic consciousness, generate the wisdom capable of seeing; relying on this wisdom, they see the Buddha's sambhogakāya. Thus it is said they see relying on karmic consciousness. It does not mean karmic consciousness itself is what sees, for this consciousness is subtle and not yet capable of seeing.
