阿彌陀經疏 1.34

1.34

'Dwelling in the country of Śrāvastī', and so forth, means that where I heard it from the Buddha indeed had its location: namely, hearing the Buddha speak in the Jeta Grove in Śrāvastī. 'In' means dwelling. The Tathāgata fundamentally dwells in the Land of Eternally Quiescent Light; out of pity for sentient beings, his trace-body dwelt in Śrāvastī. In Sanskrit, Śrāvastī is translated here as 'fame and goods', meaning it was endowed with the goods of desire-objects and wealth, and with people of fame and liberation.
