阿彌陀經通贊疏 2.33

2.33

贊曰：第五朱閣凌空也。上有樓閣者，七寶池上鬪空起樓閣也。亦以者，七寶池上樓閣凌空還用寶成，故云亦也。金、銀、瑠璃、玻𭹳、𤥭璖、赤珠、瑪瑙，七寶如前解也。嚴飾之者，莊嚴麗華飾也。《無量壽論》云：為地莊嚴也。《觀經》云：處處皆有眾寶樓閣莊嚴池上也。時時遊賞、往往登攀，眺望淨土，適悅情思也。

The Commentary says: Fifth, vermilion pavilions soaring into the air. Regarding 'above are pavilions': pavilions arise above the ponds of the seven jewels, competing with the sky. 'Also with' means that the pavilions soaring into the air above the ponds of the seven jewels are likewise formed of jewels; hence it says 'also'. Gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, giant clam shell, red pearls, and agate—the seven jewels are explained as above. 'Adorned with' means embellished with solemn beauty. The Wuliangshou lun says: 'They serve as adornments for the ground.' The Guan jing says: everywhere there are pavilions of manifold jewels adorning the ponds above. From time to time one roams and enjoys them, repeatedly ascending them to gaze across the Pure Land, gladdening the mind and thoughts.
