法華義疏 2.162

2.162

The prose directly explained one light that penetrated and illuminated both here and there. Now Maitreya wishes to differentiate them, and therefore explains two lights. Earlier he explained the light illuminating this land; now he recapitulates the light illuminating other lands. In terms of illuminating here and there, it is thus divided into two lights. Therefore a verse below states: 'The Buddha emits a light; I and the assembly behold this realm's various marvels,' which refers to the light of this land. It also states: 'He emits a pure light, illuminating immeasurable lands,' which refers to the light of other lands.
