1.8

問:佛本濟生,利成欣厭,何不亦令見淨,而唯暫隔穢方?答:機向熟而緣須,暫令見淨;緣不須而未熟,攝穢方。

Question: The Buddha fundamentally saves sentient beings by having the benefit of delight and revulsion accomplished; why did he not also let them see the pure, instead of merely temporarily screening off the impure realm? Answer: When their capacities were maturing and conditions required it, he temporarily let them see the pure; when conditions did not require it and [their capacities] had not yet matured, he gathered back the impure realm.
