Second, contrasting the past to reveal the present. Regarding "In past discussions, etc.": "the past" refers to various vaipulya sūtras such as the Puji. Regarding "Now elucidating, etc.", Jingxi says: "The sūtras prior to this only elucidated the direct reward, speaking solely of the three bodies corresponding to the four teachings; the Buddhas of the former two teachings are both called response [bodies]. Therefore, if the circumstantial cause is correlated with the four lands, both the shared-dwelling and remainder lands are called response lands; hence the present bodies and lands are either four or three." "Circumstantial cause" refers to taking a land, which is the cause for benefiting beings. If correlated with conditional origination, conditioned and unconditioned, as well as the birth-and-death of fractured segments and inconceivable transformation, the lands must be divided into four: namely the two shared-dwelling [lands], the expedient [land], and the true reward [land], because the two originations and two deaths are each divided into two.
