[Frida]

Chapter 20. Depart from Color and Feature

"Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Buddha be recognized out of a physical body perfectly constituted?" "No, World Honoured One. The Tathagata cannot be recognized from a physical body perfectly constituted. Why? what the Tathagata says ‘a physical body perfectly constituted’ is, is not a physical body perfectly constituted. It is just called a physical body perfectly constituted."

"Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Tathagata be recognized out of all the features[제상(諸相)] perfectly constituted?" "No, World Honoured One. It is impossible to see the Tathagata out of all the features perfectly constituted. Why, what the Tathagata said ‘all the features perfectly constituted’ are, are not all the features perfectly constituted. They are just called all the features perfectly constituted."

제20 색신을 여읜 법신여래

“수보리야, 너는 어떻게 생각하느냐. 가히 구족하게 거룩한 육신으로 여래를 볼 수 있느냐.”

“아니옵니다. 세존이시여. 거룩하게 구족한 육신을 가지고 여래를 뵈올 수 없나이다. 왜냐하오면 여래께서 말씀하시는 구족한 육신이라 함은 곧 구족한 육신이 아니옵고 그 이름이 구족한 육신일 따름이기 때문이옵니다.”

“수보리야, 너는 어떻게 생각하느냐. 가히 구족한 몸매를 가지고 여래를 볼 수 있느냐.”

“아니옵니다. 세존이시여. 구족한 몸매를 가지고 여래를 뵈올수 없나이다. 왜 그러냐 하오면 여래께서 말씀하시는 모든 몸매를 구족했다 하심은 곧 구족이 아니옵고 그 이름이 구족일 따름이기 때문이옵니다.”

Chapter 20.

"Subhuti, what do you think, should one look for Buddha in his perfect physical body?"

"No, Perfectly Enlightened One, one should not look for Buddha in his perfect physical body. Why? The Buddha has said that the perfect physical body is not the perfect physical body. Therefore it is called the perfect physical body."

"Subhuti, what do you think, should one look for Buddha in all his perfect appearances?"

"No Most Honored One, one should not look for Buddha in all his perfect appearances. Why? The Buddha has said perfect appearances are not perfect appearances. Therefore they are called perfect appearances."

<20> 離色離相

The Unreality of Phenomenal Distinctions

Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Buddha be perceived by His perfectly-formed body? No, World-honoured One, the Tathagata cannot be perceived by His perfectly-formed body, because the Tathagata teaches that a perfectly-formed body is not really such; it is merely called "a perfectly formed body". Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Tathagata be perceived by means of any phenomenal characteristic? No, World-honoured One, the Tathagata may not be perceived by any phenomenal characteristic, because the Tathagata teaches that phenomenal characteristics are not really such; they are merely termed "phenomenal characteristics".

Section 20: Leaving form, leaving appearance

“Subhūti, what do you think? Can the Tathāgata be seen by means of the perfected body of form?” “No, Bhagavān, the Tathāgata cannot be seen by means of the perfected body of form. Why? The perfected body of form that the Tathāgata speaks of is itself not a perfected body of form, and is thus called the perfected body of form.” “Subhūti, what do you think? Can the Tathāgata be seen by the perfection of all marks?” “No, Bhagavān, the Tathāgata cannot be seen by the perfection of all marks. Why? The perfection of marks that the Tathāgata speaks of is itself not a perfection, and is thus called the perfection of marks.”
