注維摩詰經 1.468

1.468

肇曰：佛土常淨，豈待變而後飾？按地者，蓋是變眾人之罪所見耳。寶莊嚴土，淨土之最，故以為諭。生曰：神力變地者，以明出穢為淨。喻石沙雖穢，至於離惡之處不容有異。又現此變，示無定相，以遣封穢之情，使取為淨之旨。

[Seng]zhao says: The buddha-land is constantly pure; how could it wait for transformation before being adorned? Pressing the earth was merely transforming what the sins of the multitude saw. The Jewel-Adorned Land is the foremost among pure lands; therefore it was used as an illustration. / [Dao]sheng says: Transforming the earth with spiritual power clarifies the transcendence of defilement into purity. It illustrates that although rocks and sand are defiled, when it comes to departing from evil, there can be no difference. Moreover, manifesting this transformation shows that there are no fixed signs, so as to dispel the attachment to defilement and lead them to grasp the principle of purity.
