4.61

Question: In this chapter one also sees Śākyamuni; why is it exclusively named "Seeing Akṣobhya"? Śākyamuni is constantly seen in this land, whereas the Tathāgata Akṣobhya is now witnessed directly for the first time; establishing the title with respect to the new, it is named "Seeing Akṣobhya." Furthermore, seeing Śākyamuni was in the preceding chapter, whereas seeing Akṣobhya Buddha is in this chapter. Because Akṣobhya Buddha is seen for the first time in this chapter, it is named "Seeing Akṣobhya."
