維摩經略疏垂裕記 3.30

3.30

From "If not the Buddha" onward, it explains the characteristics of obtaining benefit, not distinguishing form and voice. Under "Questioning this," Jingxi says: Since this manifests the land, it can directly express the land. Why is it called the cause? The cause is only the direct reward, yet still divided into near and far. The meaning in the answer is: in this verse, it first praises the cause, and the next verse expresses and manifests it; therefore, one cannot take the cause to be the expressing and manifesting. Hence, in the answer, it directly refutes other explanations.
