佛壽長短無有定相,但穢土感佛業弱故佛壽短,感生死業強故人壽長;淨土感佛業強故佛壽長,感生死業弱故人壽短。
The length of a Buddha's lifespan has no fixed characteristic. It is simply that in a defiled land the karma that evokes a Buddha is weak, so the Buddha's lifespan is short, while the karma evoking saṃsāra is strong, so human lifespan is long; in a pure land, the karma evoking a Buddha is strong, so the Buddha's lifespan is long, while the karma evoking saṃsāra is weak, so human lifespan is short.
