注維摩詰經 1.376

1.376

肇曰：不諂、直心，一行異名也。菩薩心既直，化彼同己；自土既成，故令同行斯集。此明化緣相及故果報相連，則佛土之義顯也。自下二句相對，或前後異名、或前略後廣、或前因後果，類因行耳。凡善行有二種：一行善、二報善。自此下諸眾生所習，皆報善也。生曰：致國之義已備於前，今但明眾行是淨國之本。居然可領，故云寶積當知，知如前也。答其所問，故偏據事淨表以無穢真實之心也。斯則善行之本，故首明之也。不諂眾生，是淨之一事。菩薩皆語其行、眾生皆言其報，而對說之者，明眾生昔受此化、今有此果。菩薩行成，應之則屬於佛。豫總於國，故云來生也。

[Seng]zhao says: Freedom from flattery and the straightforward mind are different names for a single practice. When the bodhisattva's mind is straightforward, he transforms others to be like himself; once his own land is established, those of identical practice gather there. This explains that because conditions for conversion reach each other, karmic retributions are linked, and so the meaning of a buddha-land becomes evident. In what follows, the pairs of sentences correspond: sometimes earlier and later are different names, sometimes earlier is concise and later extensive, or earlier is cause and later effect, being analogous to causal practice. In general, wholesome practices are of two kinds: first, wholesome deeds; second, wholesome retributions. From here on, what the sentient beings practice are all wholesome retributions. [Dao]sheng says: The meaning of bringing about a land has already been set forth above; now it only explains that the manifold practices are the basis for purifying a land. This can clearly be grasped, which is why it says, 'Ratnakūṭa, you should know,' knowing as explained before. To answer his question, it specifically relies on phenomenal purity to manifest the genuine mind free from defilement. This is the root of wholesome practices, hence it is explained first. Sentient beings free from flattery are one matter of purity. The bodhisattva is spoken of in terms of his practice, and sentient beings are spoken of in terms of their retribution; that they are spoken of in contrast clarifies that sentient beings formerly received this teaching and now have this fruit. When the bodhisattva's practice is completed, his response belongs to the buddha. Summarizing beforehand regarding the land, it says they 'come to be born.'
