法華文句記 10.131

10.131

七云淨穢不同者，妙音被誡復非淨土，故知分身久已還國者，分身集日，那令侍者皆諸靈山？信諸山並無而猶有靈鷲，文殊海出亦云靈山忽有華現，故妙音來還依舊誡。救曰：經文炳然而讀者不見。《經》云「移諸天人置於他土，唯留此會眾」，故知土淨為安諸佛，靈山舊眾不移可然。準文殊來時，即云指靈鷲山住虛空中，妙音至時不云住虛空中，故知淨時處空復穢在地，今分身既散故一切皆穢。而沒却復穢之理，苦執靈鷲獨穢，妙音被誡具云誡土，不獨云山，故云「莫輕彼國土」等。故文殊、妙音二人來時，其理不等；欲令一例，此理難齊。

Seventh, regarding the claim that 'purity and defilement do not match, for Gadgadasvara received an admonition and [the land] was again not a pure land, so we know that the emanations had already returned to their lands long before': [He claims that] on the day the emanations assembled, why would attendants all be said to be at Vulture Peak? If we believe that all the mountains were no longer there, yet Vulture Peak still existed, then when Mañjuśrī emerged from the sea it was also said that blossoms suddenly appeared on Vulture Peak; hence, when Gadgadasvara came, he still received an admonition based on the old [defiled state]. Refutation: The scriptural text is brilliantly clear, yet readers fail to see it. The sūtra says: 'He moved all the gods and humans, placing them in other lands, keeping only the assembly gathered here.' Thus we know the land was purified in order to accommodate the buddhas; that the original assembly of Vulture Peak was not moved is completely natural. Applying this to when Mañjuśrī came, it specifically says that pointing to Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa, he stayed in empty space. When Gadgadasvara arrived, it does not say he stayed in empty space. Thus we know that when it was pure, they were in space, and when it reverted to defilement, they were on the ground. Now that the emanations had dispersed, everything was defiled. Yet he ignores the principle of reverting to defilement and stubbornly insists that Vulture Peak alone remained defiled. When Gadgadasvara was admonished, [the text] fully states that the admonition was about the land, not exclusively about the mountain, hence saying 'Do not disparage that land,' and so forth. Therefore, the circumstances of Mañjuśrī's and Gadgadasvara's arrival were of unequal principle; if one wishes to make them uniform, these principles can hardly be equated.
