觀無量壽佛經疏 3.158

3.158

問曰：「《彌陀經》云：『彼國眾生無有眾苦、但受諸樂，故名極樂。』何故此經分身說法乃云度苦者，有何意也？」

Question: “The Amitābha Sūtra says, ‘Sentient beings of that land have no suffering, but experience only various pleasures; therefore it is called Sukhāvatī.’ Why does this sūtra say that the manifested bodies preach the Dharma to ‘save those who suffer’? What is the meaning of this?”
