| + | |EnglishCommentary=[Thus far] suchness with stains has been discussed. At this point, stainless suchness shall be treated. Now, what is this stainless suchness? (D15b) Since this [suchness] is free from all kinds of stains in the uncontaminated basic element of the buddha bhagavāns, it is presented as the fundamental change. In brief, this should be understood in terms of eight points. What are these eight points? | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::'''[Buddhahood] is purity, attainment, freedom,''' | ||
| + | ::'''One’s own welfare and that of others, the foundation of this,''' | ||
| + | ::'''And profundity, vastness, and magnanimity''' | ||
| + | ::'''For as long as time lasts and in accordance [with beings]'''. II.1 | ||
| + | |||
| + | In due order, this verse explains [buddhahood in] eight topics. They are: (1) the topic of [its] nature, (2) the topic of [its] cause, (3) the topic of [its] fruition, (4) the topic of [its] function, (5) the topic of [its] endowment [with qualities], (6) the topic of [its] manifestation, (7) the topic of [its] permanence, and (8) the topic of [its] inconceivability. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (1) Here, the Bhagavān called the basic element that is not liberated from the cocoon of the afflictions "the tathāgata heart." Its '''purity''' is to be understood as the nature of the fundamental change. Therefore, [the ''Śrīmālādevīsūtra''] says: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <blockquote>Bhagavan, those who have no doubt about the tathāgata heart that is covered by all the millions of cocoons of the afflictions do not have doubts about the dharmakāya of the Tathāgata that is liberated from all the cocoons of the afflictions.<ref>D45.48, fol. 271a.4–5. </ref></blockquote> | ||
| + | |||
| + | (2) Wisdom is twofold—supramundane nonconceptual [wisdom] and the mundane<ref>J omits ''laukikaṃ'', but it is present in MB and D.</ref> [wisdom] that is attained subsequent to it. This mundane and supramundane wisdom—the cause of the fundamental change—is indicated through the term "'''attainment'''." [Here,] "attainment" refers to that through which [this fundamental change] is attained. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (3) The fruition of these [two wisdoms] (P120b) is twofold—the twofold freedom that consists of the freedom from afflictive obscurations and the freedom from cognitive obscurations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (4) The function [of these two fruitions] is the fulfillment of '''one’s own welfare and that of others''', respectively. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (5) Endowment refers to being associated with '''the foundation of this''' [function, that is, with the ultimate characteristics of buddhahood]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (6)–(8) Manifestation refers to [this foundation’s] permanently manifesting through the three buddhakāyas that are characterized by '''profundity, vastness, and magnanimity''', respectively, in an inconceivable manner for as long as [saṃsāric] existence remains. | ||
