1.372

肇曰:淨土必由眾生,譬立宮必因地。無地無眾生,宮土無以成。二乘澄神虛無,不因眾生,故無淨土也。生曰:非無眾生也。

[Seng]zhao says: A pure land must depend on sentient beings, just as erecting a palace must depend on the earth. Without earth and without sentient beings, the palace and the land cannot be completed. The two vehicles settle their spirits in emptiness and non-being and do not depend on sentient beings, so they have no pure land. [Dao]sheng says: It is not that there are no sentient beings.
