說無垢稱經疏 2.235

2.235

贊曰：世尊告也。初總告，為眾生罪故不見我之佛土嚴淨；後別告之，我土嚴淨而汝不見。《法花經》云「我常住於此，以諸神通力，令顛倒眾生，雖近而不見。眾生既信伏，質直意柔軟，一心欲見佛，不自惜身命，時我及眾僧，俱出靈鷲山。」又云「我淨土不毀，而眾見燒盡，憂怖諸苦惱，如是悉充滿。是諸罪眾生，以惡業因緣，過阿僧祇劫，不聞三寶名。」乃至廣說。即是此也。

Commentary: The Bhagavat addresses him. First he addresses him generally: because of the sins of sentient beings, they do not see the adornment and purity of my Buddha-land; subsequently he addresses him specifically: my land is adorned and pure, yet you do not see it. The Lotus Sūtra says: "I constantly abide here; / through various supernatural powers, / I cause confused sentient beings, / though near, not to see me. / When sentient beings have become faithful and submissive, / upright and gentle in mind, / single-mindedly wishing to see the Buddha, / not begrudging their own bodily lives, / then I and the saṅgha / together emerge on Vulture Peak." It also says: "My pure land is indestructible, / yet the multitude see it burned up, / full of grief, terror, and various distresses, / all filled like this. / These sinful sentient beings, / through the conditions of unwholesome karma, / pass through asaṃkhyeya kalpas / without hearing the name of the Three Jewels." and so forth at length. This is precisely it.
