仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 1.147

1.147

The commentary explains: The manifested pure lands, buddhas, and so forth successively pervaded the buddha kṣetras of the ten directions. In terms of this, the assembled congregation suddenly beheld them, hence it is called "transformation and manifestation"; how could one know whether the pure land was not already intact before it was seen? Therefore, the *Lotus Sūtra* states: "When sentient beings see the kalpa end / and it is consumed by a great fire, / this land of mine is tranquil and secure, / always filled with devas and humans." All this concludes the initial enumeration of the assembly. From here, the second part concludes with their expressing reverence and retiring to sit down. What is its meaning?
