法華玄論 9.55

9.55

Answer: In the *Avataṃsaka*, those of the two vehicles did not see at first, but later, relying on the Buddha's power, they saw. Here, these gods and humans have no occasion to see whatsoever, and are therefore displaced. It is intended to reveal the meaning of the four purities: first, purity of the transforming master; second, purity of the land; third, purity of the teaching; fourth, purity of the disciples. If the gods and humans were not displaced, the assembly would not be pure.
