2.152

"Śāriputra... up to ...yet you do not see it": Third, applying the simile of the sun and moon to resolve Śāriputra's doubt. "Because of the sins of sentient beings, they do not see the majestic purity of the buddha-land": First, this matches the blind. Within the realm, beings accumulate turbid evils and heavy hindrances through conditions; therefore, they do not see the Land of Common Residence. Because the sins within the realm combine with the unconditioned, as well as the sins of sands of dust within the realm, they do not see the Land of Expedient Remainder; because of the sins of sands of dust and ignorance outside the realm, they do not see the Land of True Retribution; because of the subtle sins of ignorance in the dharma-realm, they do not see the Land of Quiescent Light. "This land of mine is pure, yet you do not see it": This matches the simile of the sun and moon, clarifying that the four lands are constantly pure; Śāriputra has the aforementioned four kinds of sinful hindrances, and therefore he does not see it.
