觀無量壽佛經義疏 3.192

3.192

「『在寶池中經於七日，蓮華乃敷。華既敷已，開目合掌讚歎世尊。』」文敘讚歎，理合先見。二、聞法。

"‘After remaining in the jeweled pond for seven days, the lotus flower opens. When the flower has opened, they open their eyes, join their palms, and praise the World-Honoured One.’" The text describes praising [the Buddha], which in principle implies having seen him first. Second, hearing the Dharma.
