2.21

問:合蓋現土何得知表報應身土?答:五百小蓋合成其一,豈非表眾因合成一果?一果者即是圓報法身,身即有土,故文中菩薩修檀等行成佛之時,如是眾生來生其國。

Question: Uniting the parasols and displaying the lands—how is it known to indicate the retribution and response bodies and lands? Answer: Five hundred small parasols unite into a single one; how could this not indicate the convergence of myriad causes into a single fruit? The single fruit is precisely the complete retribution dharmakāya; where there is a body there is a land. Therefore, in the text, when the bodhisattva cultivates practices such as dāna and achieves buddhahood, such sentient beings come to be born in that land.
