「雖觀至是菩薩行」,五、約依正結撮扶成此宗體也。文有二行。「雖觀」等者,若正觀相應知常寂光,而能起界內同居淨土、界外有餘果報淨土,此結成佛國因果為宗也。「雖得」等者,若正觀相應,別入初地、圓入初住,眾生應以佛身得度者能現八相,而真應未極應修住行,乃至等覺諸菩薩道,故言「不捨於菩薩之道是菩薩行」。此結成住不思議解脫之體用也。若諸師不信此經明果外淨土法身者,云何消此文?

"Although he contemplates [all buddha-lands as empty and silent, yet manifests various pure lands]... this is the bodhisattva's practice": fifth, concluding and bringing together [the points] in terms of the environment and the individual to support and establish the essential substance of this school. The text has two practices. Regarding "Although he contemplates...", etc.: if, attuned to correct contemplation, he knows the Eternally Quiescent Light, he is nonetheless able to bring forth the Land of Common Abode within the realms and the Land of Remainder and Retribution beyond the realms; this concludes and establishes the cause and fruition of buddha-lands as the doctrinal tenet. Regarding "Although he attains [the Buddha-Way]...", etc.: if, attuned to correct contemplation, he distinctly enters the first stage (bhūmi) or perfectly enters the first dwelling, he is able to manifest the eight aspects for those sentient beings who should be saved by a buddha body; yet, as the true and the responsive have not reached the utmost, he ought to cultivate the practices of the dwellings up to the bodhisattva paths of equal enlightenment. Therefore, it is said: "Not abandoning the path of the bodhisattva is the bodhisattva's practice." This concludes and establishes the substance and function of dwelling in the inconceivable liberation. If the various masters do not believe that this sūtra illuminates the dharmakāya and the pure land beyond fruition, how could they interpret this text?
