7.37

從「又不容」下更破他方,自有三節。此師亦以他方為彌陀。若以尊特為彌陀者,此有三失。大小兩機並在今佛,乃成見垢衣為扣此、見瓔珞為扣彼,結緣亦爾。又往昔大小兩緣俱在釋迦,今尊特垢衣俱在彌陀者,更成可笑。故第三重立難難之,往緣大小定在今佛,豈應今日雙應他方,又何得大應在彼、小應在此?平等意趣義亦未成。具如前破。

From "Moreover, it is intolerable" downward, it further refutes another realm, naturally having three sections. This master also took another realm to be Amitābha. If the exalted and distinctive [body] is taken to be Amitābha, this has three errors: both large and small capacities are with the present Buddha, which would mean that seeing the soiled robe is knocking at this [Buddha], and seeing the necklaces is knocking at that [Buddha], and forming bonds would also be like this. Furthermore, in the past, both large and small conditions were with Śākyamuni; if now the exalted and distinctive [body] and the soiled robe both belong to Amitābha, it becomes even more laughable. Therefore, the third layer sets up an objection to challenge it: the past conditions, large and small, were definitively with the present Buddha; how could there today be a double response in another realm, and how could the large response be there while the small response is here? The meaning of the intention of equality is also not established. It is fully as previously refuted.
