48.24

疏「從初得佛」下,即《唯識論》文。然論云「相續變為純淨佛土」,今無「變」字,乃是義釋,謂雖復相續變化,不同他受用土前後改變,故不云變。言「橫周法界云無際」者,即《唯識論》前所引論,後云周圓無際,《佛地經》中同《佛地論》。又云無際者,謂無長短等,分齊相難測故。下說他受用,並如〈世界品〉。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "From when first attaining Buddhahood": this is text from the *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi-śāstra*. However, that śāstra says "continuously transforms into a purely pure Buddha land"; here the character "transforms" is omitted, which is an exegetical explanation, meaning that although it is continuously transforming, it is unlike the lands of other-enjoyment which change from earlier to later, and therefore it does not say "transforms." As for the statement "horizontally pervading the dharmadhātu is called boundless": this is from the earlier citation of the *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi-śāstra*, which later says "circular and boundless"; in the *Buddhabhūmi-sūtra*, it is the same as the *Buddhabhūmi-śāstra*. Further, "boundless" means being without length, shortness, and the like, because the characteristics of its delimitations are difficult to measure. The discussion below of other-enjoyment is entirely as in the "World Chapter."
