維摩經略疏 2.113

2.113

問：此中但云直心深心，何須強對二乘觀心？答：此經猶帶方便，故有此釋。准望《大品》、《法華》，恐是約二乘心修淨土行，為引二乘來生其國。故《大論》釋般若勸學中明自有佛土純是聲聞為僧，自有佛土純支佛為僧，自有佛土純菩薩為僧。諦緣觀心非淨佛土者，豈純聲聞來生其國？緣覺、菩薩類可知也。

Question: Here it merely mentions the straightforward mind and the profound mind; why is it necessary to forcibly match them with the mind-contemplations of the two vehicles? Answer: This sūtra still carries expedients, hence there is this explanation. Gauging it against the Dàpǐn and the Lotus [Sūtra], it is likely that pure land practice is cultivated with reference to the minds of the two vehicles in order to attract the two vehicles to come and be born in that land. Hence the Dàzhìdù lùn, in explaining the exhortation to learn prajñā, clarifies that there are buddha-lands where the Saṅgha consists purely of śrāvakas, buddha-lands where the Saṅgha consists purely of pratyekabuddhas, and buddha-lands where the Saṅgha consists purely of bodhisattvas. If the mind-contemplations of the truths and conditions did not purify a buddha-land, how could beings purely of the śrāvaka [vehicle] come to be born in that land? Those of pratyekabuddhas and bodhisattvas can be known by analogy.
