妙法蓮華經玄義 6.218

6.218

十番、實報土益者，即實報土人益也。八番中有兩人生方便土，又二人悉破無明見實相者，方得生彼。但無明重數甚多，雖三賢十聖住於實報，報未盡猶有殘惑，更用王三昧四十一番益之。至於妙覺，豎窮橫遍，不生不滅；不生不滅，無明永盡，智慧圓足，故言不生不滅。又機感滿足，利益究竟，故言不生不滅。若分別為言，謂實報在方便之外；若即事而真，此亦不遠。文云：「觀見娑婆，瑠璃為地，坦然平正，諸臺樓觀，眾寶所成，純諸菩薩，咸處其中。」即實報土意也。

Tenth turn, the benefit of the land of real retribution: This is the benefit for the people of the land of real retribution. Among the eight turns, two kinds of persons are born in the land of expedient means, and only two kinds of persons who have completely broken ignorance and seen the true mark are able to be born there. However, the layers of ignorance are very numerous; although the three worthies and ten noble ones dwell in real retribution, their retribution is not yet exhausted and lingering delusions still remain, so the king of samādhis is further used forty-one times to benefit them. Arriving at wondrous enlightenment, it vertically exhausts and horizontally pervades, neither arising nor perishing; neither arising nor perishing, ignorance is eternally exhausted and wisdom is perfectly complete, hence it is said to be neither arising nor perishing. Furthermore, spiritual capacity and stimulus are fulfilled and the benefit is ultimate, hence it is said to be neither arising nor perishing. If spoken of analytically, it is said that real retribution is outside of expedient means; but if one realizes truth directly in phenomenal events, this too is not far. As the text says: "One sees the Sahā world, with lapis lazuli as ground, even and flat, with various terraces and pavilions made of numerous jewels, purely filled with bodhisattvas, all dwelling within it." This is the meaning of the land of real retribution.
