觀無量壽佛經疏 3.44

3.44

Fourth, from "All those jeweled trees" down to "serving to reflect and adorn," it directly explains the varied aspects of the various trees, their diverse adornments, and distinct decorations. Here there are four points: first, it explains that the flowers and leaves of the grove trees intermingle and differ; second, it explains that each root, trunk, branch, twig, and fruit possesses all jewels; third, it explains that each flower and leaf differs mutually, gold-colored light issuing from lapis-lazuli color, thus alternating and intermingling; fourth, it explains that all kinds of mixed jewels further adorn them. Another praise says:
"Possessing all natures of precious gems,
Fully endowed with wondrous adornments,
Stainless light blazes brilliantly,
Bright and pure, illuminating the world."
Another praise says:
"In Amitābha's pure realm the jeweled trees are numerous,
Branches hanging down on four sides, draped in celestial garments;
Jeweled clouds form canopies, transformed birds sing in unison,
Circling and hovering in the sky, playing Dharma sounds to enter the assembly.
The holy host from other lands hear the resonance and open their minds;
The capable beings of this land see their forms and attain awakening."
