觀無量壽佛經疏 3.48

3.48

Eighth, from "Gushing forth all kinds of fruits" down to "also appear therein," it directly explains the aspects of the fruits' inconceivable virtues and functions. There are five points: first, it explains that when the jeweled fruits are produced, they gush forth spontaneously; second, it explains the borrowing of metaphors to indicate the forms of the fruits; third, it explains that the fruits have divine light that transforms into banners and canopies; fourth, it explains that within the round and bright jeweled canopies there appear the realms of the trichiliocosm, with the various marks of both primary and circumstantial adornments manifesting; fifth, it explains that the pure lands of the ten directions are universally manifested within the canopies, and the humans and devas of that realm all behold them. Furthermore, these trees are exceedingly high and their breadth is exceedingly vast; their flowers and fruits are multitudinous, and their divine transformations are not singular. Just as this is so for each single tree, the fruits of all the trees filling that realm are numerous and entirely like this. One should know: all practitioners, whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, should constantly cultivate this visualization.
