[FN#407] Ratnakuta-sutra (?), translated into Chinese by Jnyanagupta.

Alas!  O ye half-educated scholars who adhere to imperfect doctrines, each of which conflicts with another!  Ye that seek after truth, if ye would attain to Buddhahood, clearly understand which is the subtler and which is the grosser (form of illusive ideas), which is the originator and which is the originated. (Then) give ye up the originated and return ye to the originator, and to reflect on the Spirit, the Source (of all).  When the grosser is exterminated and the subtler removed, the wonderful wisdom of spirit is disclosed, and nothing is beyond its understanding.  This is called the Dharma-sambhoga-kaya.  It can of itself transform itself and appear among men in numberless ways.  This is called the Nirmana-kaya of Buddha.[FN#408]

[FN#408] Every Buddha has three bodies:  (1) Dharma-kaya, or spiritual body; (2) Sambhoga-kaya, or the body of compensation; (3) Nirmana-kaya, or the body capable of transformation.

THE END.
