觀無量壽佛經疏 1.15

1.15

第四樹觀。文三：初、明結前生後；次、「觀寶樹」下，正明觀行；「是為」下，結。正觀中有五：一、明樹體；二、明莊嚴相；三、明生法；四、「有大光明」下，現佛國土；五「見樹莖葉」下，結觀也。

Fourth is the contemplation of the trees. The text has three [parts]: first, concluding what precedes and introducing what follows; next, from "contemplating the jeweled trees" onwards, directly explaining contemplative practice; from "This is..." onwards, concluding. Within the direct contemplation there are five: first, explaining the substance of the trees; second, explaining the adorned characteristics; third, explaining the manner of their arising; fourth, from "There is great radiance" onwards, manifesting the Buddha-lands; fifth, from "seeing the trunks and leaves of the trees" onwards, concluding the contemplation.
