「佛子!土名一切賢聖所居之處。是故一切眾生賢聖,各自居果報之土。若凡夫眾生住五陰中為正報之土,山林大地共有名依報之土。初地聖人亦有二土,一、實智土,前智住後智為土;二、變化淨穢經劫數量應現之土,乃至無垢地土亦如是。一切眾生乃至無垢地,盡非淨土住果報故。唯佛居中道第一法性之土。是故我昔於普光堂上,廣為一切眾生說淨土之門。

"Son of the Buddha! 'Land' refers to the dwelling place of all worthy and noble ones. Therefore, all sentient beings, worthy ones, and noble ones each dwell in their own land of retribution. Ordinary sentient beings dwelling within the five aggregates constitute the land of direct retribution; mountains, forests, and the great earth, shared in common, are called the land of circumstantial retribution. Noble ones of the first ground also have two lands: first, the land of real wisdom, where former wisdom abides and subsequent wisdom serves as the land; second, the land that adaptively manifests as pure or defiled across counted kalpas; and so it is up to the land of the Stainless Ground. For all sentient beings up to the Stainless Ground, none [of their lands] are pure lands, because they abide in retribution. The Buddha alone dwells in the land of the supreme Dharma-nature of the middle way. For this reason, in the past in the Universal Light Hall, I broadly expounded the gate of the pure land for all sentient beings.
