觀無量壽佛經疏 2.79

2.79

五、從爾時世尊放眉間光下，至令韋提見已來，正明世尊廣現淨土酬前通請。此明世尊以見夫人廣求淨土，如來即放眉間光照十方國，以光攝國，還來頂上化作金臺，如須彌山。如之言似，似須彌山，此山腰細上闊，所有佛國並於中現。種種不同，莊嚴有異。佛神力故，了了分明，加備韋提，盡皆得見。

Fifth, from "At that time the World-Honoured One emitted a light from between his brows" down to "enabled Vaidehī to see," it clearly shows that the World-Honoured One extensively manifested the pure lands to respond to the previous general request. This clarifies that because the World-Honoured One saw that the consort made a broad request for pure lands, the Tathāgata immediately emitted a light from between his brows to illuminate the lands of the ten directions. Gathering the lands with the light, it returned to his crown and transformed into a golden dais resembling Mount Sumeru. The word *ru* (like) means "similar to": similar to Mount Sumeru, this mountain was narrow in the middle and broad at the top, and all the buddha lands appeared within it. They were of various kinds, with differing adornments. By the Buddha's spiritual power, they were distinctly clear; blessing and protecting Vaidehī, he enabled her to see them all.
