維摩經略疏 2.91

2.91

問：若爾，為是淨名扶成佛國？為是淨名自淨佛國？為是成弟子等淨佛國耶？答：深求其理，皆有此義。如《法華．壽量》釋迦成道甚大久遠，今分身佛在於十方淨土說法，未來亦然。此類淨名扶成釋迦淨土之義。淨名既能折伏攝受有緣之類，若淨名成佛皆來生其國，即是淨名能調眾生則佛土淨。弟子菩薩亦受折伏為調眾生，眾生既因弟子菩薩斷惡生善，弟子等後成佛時所調眾生皆生其國，故言隨所調伏眾生則佛土淨。

Question: If so, was Vimalakīrti supporting and completing [the Buddha's] buddha-land, or was Vimalakīrti purifying his own buddha-land, or was he bringing about the purification of the buddha-lands of the disciples and others? Answer: Inquiring deeply into its principle, all these meanings are present. Just as in the "Life Span" chapter of the Lotus Sūtra, Śākyamuni attained enlightenment in the immensely distant past, yet now his emanation buddhas preach the Dharma in pure lands of the ten directions, and will do so in the future as well. This is analogous to the meaning of Vimalakīrti supporting and completing Śākyamuni's pure land. Furthermore, since Vimalakīrti was able to subdue and gather in those who had the affinity, when Vimalakīrti attains buddhahood they will all come to be born in his land; this is Vimalakīrti being able to tame sentient beings such that the buddha-land is purified. The disciples and bodhisattvas also received subduing in order to tame sentient beings; since sentient beings, through the disciples and bodhisattvas, severed evil and gave rise to good, when the disciples and others later attain buddhahood the sentient beings they tamed will all be born in their lands. Therefore it is said: "According to the sentient beings tamed, the buddha-land is purified."
