6.78

若作伏攝義者,國由於佛,不關眾生。佛以觀惡慈悲,與無記化化禪合,起於穢國,折伏攝受四趣眾生也。以善業慈悲,與無記化化禪合,折伏攝受兩趣眾生也。佛以折空六度等慈悲,與無記化化禪合,或起於穢國、或起淨國,折伏攝受聲聞、菩薩兩界眾生也。佛以體空慈悲,與無記化化禪合,或起淨國、或起穢國,折伏攝受通教聲聞、菩薩兩界眾生也。佛以歷別慈悲,與無記化化禪合,或起穢國、淨國,折伏攝受別界菩薩眾生也。佛以即中慈悲,與無記化化禪合,或起淨國、或起穢國,折伏攝受圓界菩薩眾生也。如是種種為國不同,皆由如來神力轉變。

If we consider the meaning of subduing and gathering in, the lands depend on the Buddha and have nothing to do with sentient beings. Combining his compassion that contemplates evil with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, the Buddha brings forth impure lands to subdue and gather in sentient beings of the four destinies. Combining his compassion for wholesome karma with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, he subdues and gathers in sentient beings of the two destinies. Combining his compassion based on analyzing emptiness through the six perfections and so forth with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, the Buddha brings forth either impure lands or pure lands to subdue and gather in sentient beings of both the śrāvaka and bodhisattva realms. Combining his compassion based on embodying emptiness with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, the Buddha brings forth either pure lands or impure lands to subdue and gather in sentient beings of both the śrāvaka and bodhisattva realms of the shared teaching. Combining his compassion based on successively traversing distinctions with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, the Buddha brings forth impure or pure lands to subdue and gather in bodhisattva sentient beings of the distinctive realm. Combining his compassion based on immediate identity with the middle with the concentration of creating transformations through the morally indeterminate, the Buddha brings forth either pure lands or impure lands to subdue and gather in bodhisattva sentient beings of the perfect realm. Such various differences in the lands are all due to the transformative supernormal powers of the Tathāgata.
