Answer: Although the name "wholesome" for the cause practiced in both places is the same, the cultivation of the wholesome for a pure land is subtle, exquisite, and superior; therefore the circumstantial and direct retribution obtained by those ordinary beings and sages is not the same as in a defiled land. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [樂邦文類](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.40) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.20) · Pramāṇa
