仁王經疏 1.148

1.148

Question: Do those from the hells come or not? If they come, how are we to reconcile and explain statements in the Yogācārabhūmi and elsewhere? They state: 'The hells are entirely pure suffering, and a portion of the animal and ghost realms is also like this.' If they do not come, why does this sūtra speak of an assembly of the five destinies? Answer: There are two explanations. One says: they do not come, because the Yogācārabhūmi and other texts state that it is a place of pure suffering; when this sūtra speaks of an assembly of the five destinies, it speaks according to the majority. Another says: they also come, because this sūtra says there is an assembly of the five destinies, and in the Dhāraṇī-sūtra there is an assembly from the hells. The statements in the Yogācārabhūmi and elsewhere that it is 'pure suffering' are made according to the majority, or based on their own power. The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā says: 'Because the Buddha's light shines evenly, their suffering is allayed.'
