維摩經略疏 2.28

2.28

From "And in this world" below: second, directly displaying the marks, which also has two parts: 1. displaying the lands; 2. displaying the buddhas preaching the Dharma. The lands comprise four aspects: 1. displaying the breadth and length of the lands; 2. displaying the ten mountains; 3. displaying the oceans and rivers; 4. displaying the sun, moon, and heavenly palaces. The first passage directly symbolizes the realm of dependent retribution. Extending horizontally across a hundred billion worlds is called "breadth"; extending vertically up to the Summit of Existence is named "length." Alternatively, extending horizontally across the ten directions is called "breadth"; extending vertically through the four lands is named "length."
