觀無量壽佛經疏 4.44

4.44

Sixth, from 'the Buddha and bodhisattvas simultaneously emit light' down to 'attains non-retrogression,' directly clarifies in the eleventh gate the different benefits obtained after the flower opens. There are five points: First, clarifies the Buddha's light illumining the body. Second, clarifies that once the practitioner's body is illumined, their eyes immediately open clearly. Third, clarifies that what was practiced in the human realm is manifested upon arrival through myriad sounds, and one hears that Dharma again. Fourth, clarifies that having had one's eyes opened and heard the Dharma, one descends from the golden pedestal, goes directly to the Buddha's side, and sings praises of his virtues. Fifth, clarifies that after the passage of seven days, one realizes the unborn. Mentioning 'seven days' refers to seven days here, not seven days in that land. The passage of seven days here is merely a single thought-moment or instant there. One should know this.
