華嚴經探玄記 3.68

3.68

第六清淨，別中有五：一行緣淨、二自利淨、三利他淨、四行滿淨、五得位淨，皆從前起後，可知。汎論土淨有七：一當體淨，謂以淨識為相等；二事相淨，謂淨寶等故；三受用淨，謂受用此土滅惑成德故；四住處眾生淨，謂有德眾生滿此世界，故云淨也；五主淨，謂佛之土等；六淨行因生故，如文「無量行海所修集」等；七淨行即土故云清淨，以行為依止故也，如文可知。偈中九頌，分五：初一偈頌上總數；次一頌親善友；次二頌上自利，謂一三昧行、二信忍行；次一頌上利他；次二頌上二行滿；次二頌上得位益。

Sixth, purity: within the individual items, there are five: (1) purity of practice conditions; (2) purity of benefit of oneself; (3) purity of benefit of others; (4) purity of fulfilled practice; and (5) purity of attaining stages—all arising successively from the preceding to the succeeding, as can be understood. Broadly speaking, there are seven types of land purity: (1) purity of the essence itself, meaning taking pure consciousness as the characteristic, etc.; (2) purity of phenomena, meaning due to pure jewels, etc.; (3) purity of enjoyment, meaning that enjoying this land extinguishes afflictions and accomplishes virtues; (4) purity of dwelling sentient beings, meaning that virtuous sentient beings fill this world, hence called pure; (5) purity of the lord, meaning the Buddha's land, etc.; (6) because it is generated by pure practices as causes, as the text states: "cultivated and accumulated through oceans of limitless practices," etc.; (7) because pure practice is itself the land, it is called pure, taking practice as the basis, as can be understood from the text. In the verses, there are nine gāthās, divided into five: first, one gāthā versifies the general number above; next, one gāthā [versifies] drawing near to good spiritual friends; next, two gāthās versify the benefit of oneself above, meaning (1) the practice of samādhi and (2) the practice of faith and forbearance; next, one gāthā versifies the benefit of others above; next, two gāthās versify the fulfillment of the two practices above; next, two gāthās versify the benefit of attaining stages.
