無量壽經優婆提舍願生偈註 2.133

2.133

如是者，如前後廣略皆實相也。以知實相故則知三界眾生虛妄相也，知眾生虛妄則生真實慈悲也，知真實法身則起真實歸依也。慈悲之與歸依巧方便在下。

'In this way' means that both the extensive and the brief, before and after, are the true mark. Because he knows the true mark, he knows the false and illusory marks of sentient beings in the three realms. Knowing that sentient beings are false and illusory, he gives rise to true compassion. Knowing the true Dharma body, he gives rise to true refuge. The skillful expedients of compassion and refuge are discussed below.
