無量壽經連義述文贊 2.212

2.212

On the sūtra passage from "There is also spontaneous" to "foremost and supreme": The Commentary states: This second part is the adornment of music. It exists in empty space and does not arise from trees or wind, hence it is said to be "spontaneous." That which is revealed is all the Buddha-Dharma, hence there is no sound that is not the Dharma. The sound is not only pleasing but also harmonious, hence it is called plaintive and clear. This is the adornment of empty space, as the treatise says: "Immeasurable jewels interlace; / Netting covers empty space; / Various bells ring out, / Proclaiming the wondrous Dharma sound."
