觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 2.143

2.143

The commentary says: Third, explaining rebirth. There are two [points]: 1. The time of rebirth: 'as quickly as a strong man bends or extends his arm' indicates that the karma is definitive and rebirth is instantaneous. 2. The place of rebirth: 'sitting cross-legged upon a lotus flower' indicates that they definitively transcend birth and death and eliminate afflictions. Having been born in that heaven, they dwell in brahma conduct, and therefore sit cross-legged upon a flower.
