阿彌陀經疏 1.48

1.48

Answer: "This is stated in reference to the land of enjoyment for others. Enjoyment for others is twofold: first, what is manifested for those who have entered the bhūmis and above, so that those on the bhūmis and above can enjoy it; second, what is manifested for those prior to the bhūmis, so that those prior to aspiration and delight can enjoy it, which is the transformation pure land. That sūtra speaks in reference to the enjoyment land based on the great bodhisattvas born there; it is not that the Western Direction is exclusively a pure land for the first bhūmi and above. Because ordinary beings and the two vehicles can also be born there, there are both the transformation land and the enjoyment land."
