無量壽經優婆提舍願生偈註 1.77

1.77

Question: The preceding section stated that 'without moving their bodies, they reach the ten directions everywhere.' Does reaching [everywhere] without moving not imply 'simultaneity'? What difference is there between that and this? Answer: The preceding section only stated reaching without moving, which might still admit of before and after. Here it says there is neither before nor after; that is the difference. It also establishes the meaning of 'unmoving' above: if it were not simultaneous, then there would be coming and going; and if there were coming and going, it would not be unmoving. Therefore, to establish the meaning of 'unmoving' above, one must contemplate simultaneity.
