問：經言「諸天同寶器食，隨其福德飯色有異」，此為是一質異見、異質一見？答：應作四句。一、異質異見，如娑婆、極樂，此土見穢、彼土見淨。二、異質一見，如娑婆、極樂垢淨質異，別圓菩薩用天眼見，但一有餘。三、一質異見，如身子、螺髻所見，於一有餘見同居土淨穢之異。四、一質一見，謂羅漢支佛三種意生。此五種人，界內結盡同生有餘，所見無異。

> Question: The sūtra states, 'When the devas eat from the same precious vessel, the color of the rice differs according to their merit.' Is this seeing differently a single substance, or seeing as one different substances? Answer: One should frame this as four propositions. 1. Different substances seen differently: for example, Sahā and Sukhāvatī; this land is seen as impure, and that land is seen as pure. 2. Different substances seen as one: although the substances of Sahā and Sukhāvatī differ in impurity and purity, when bodhisattvas of the separate and perfect teachings see them with the divine eye, they are simply one \[land\] with remainder. 3. A single substance seen differently: as seen by Śāriputra and the Śikhin \[Brahmā\], within a single \[land\] with remainder they see the difference of purity and impurity of the land of common residence. 4. A single substance seen as one: this refers to arhats, pratyekabuddhas, and the three kinds of mind-made \[bodies\]. These five kinds of persons have exhausted defilements within the realms and are born together in \[the land\] with remainder; what they see is without difference.
