答：「身土之相唯心之影，心淨方能現之，苟能清淨其心，身土自然顯現。其猶磨鏡塵盡像生，自然如然，故非造作。故《唯識》云：『大圓鏡智，能現能生身土智影。』況是即相亡相，非謂棄相取性，但無執情何閡於相。然以經宗無相，此義稍增，首末皆爾。用心之相，如次所明。」

> Answer: "The characteristics of bodies and lands are solely reflections of the mind; only when the mind is pure can they manifest. If one can purify their mind, bodies and lands will naturally manifest. It is like polishing a mirror: when dust is gone, images appear, naturally as such, and thus not of artificial contrivance. Therefore the Vijñaptimātratā states: 'The great perfect mirror wisdom is capable of manifesting and producing the wisdom-reflections of bodies and lands.' How much more so since this is reaching the absence of characteristics right within characteristics, not casting off characteristics to grasp nature; if there is merely no grasping attachment, how can it obstruct characteristics? However, because the fundamental tenet of the sūtra is signlessness, this meaning is slightly emphasized, being so from beginning to end. The characteristics of the application of mind are as explained next."
