2.37

此云何不思議?彼國人天若意欲宮殿樓閣,若廣一由旬若百由旬若千由旬、千間萬間,隨心所成,人各如此。又十方世界眾生願往生者,若已生、若今生、若當生,一時一日之頃,算數所不能知其多少,而彼世界常若虛空,無迫迮相。彼中眾生住如此量中,志願廣大亦如虛空無有限量。彼國土量能成眾生心行量,何可思議?

How is this inconceivable? If the humans and devas of that land wish in their minds for palaces and pavilions, whether one yojana wide, a hundred yojanas, or a thousand yojanas, with thousands or tens of thousands of rooms, they are accomplished according to their minds, each person having it so. Furthermore, as for the sentient beings of the ten directions who aspire to be reborn—whether they have already been reborn, are now being reborn, or will be reborn—within the span of a single time or a single day, their numbers cannot be known by calculation, yet that world is always like empty space, with no aspect of crowding. The sentient beings therein abide in such a measure, and their aspirations are vast like empty space, without limit. That the measure of that land can accomplish the measure of the mental conduct of sentient beings—how could it be conceivable?
