大乘起信論略述 2.74

2.74

[Treatise:] The body has immeasurable forms ... immeasurable minor marks.
[Exposition:] Below, the characteristics of the reward are revealed. In this, there are two parts: first, the primary retribution, and second, the dependent retribution. This is the first. The body has no boundaries, hence called 'immeasurable forms.' Relying on forms, there are major marks, and marks are also immeasurable. Relying on marks, there are minor marks, and minor marks are also inexhaustible. Marks express virtue, causing people to revere virtue and be mindful of the Buddha; minor marks adorn the body, causing people to love, delight in, and draw near to it. Hence the Buddha's body is said to have marks, minor marks, and so forth.
