維摩義記 1.58

1.58

From here below is the third [section], in which the Tathāgata reveals it again. Because Śāriputra previously said he saw it as impure, it had to be manifested again. In the text there are five [parts]: first, the Tathāgata manifests the pure [land]; second, the great assembly sees it together; third, the Buddha encourages Śāriputra to observe it; fourth, Śāriputra replies to the Buddha, clarifying that he has already seen it; fifth, the Buddha, on the basis of what was seen, clarifies that the land is fundamentally pure. In the first part, "the Buddha pressed the earth with his toe" manifests a sign to transform the land. "Immediately the trichiliocosm was adorned with precious jewels" conceals defilement and manifests purity. From "Just as..." downward, an analogy is drawn to reveal its superiority. This precisely reveals the Buddha's inconceivable virtue.
