答:傳有兩釋:一云二乘異生亦生故,《觀經》等皆誠說故。《瑜伽》、《攝論》云不生者,據受用土,不遮化土。二云不生,《瑜伽》、《攝論》以自會故。又《大乘同性經》云:淨土成佛皆是受用身,穢土中者皆是化身。故知化身所居土者,不得名淨。此言淨土,據暫變說。即如《法華》三變淨方,《維摩》等同。

Answer: Traditionally there are two explanations. One says that the two vehicles and ordinary beings are also born [there], because the Guan jing and other texts all explicitly state so. When the Yogācārabhūmi and the Mahāyānasaṃgraha say they are not born [there], this is said on the basis of the saṃbhoga land and does not preclude the nirmāṇa land. The second says they are not born [there], because the Yogācārabhūmi and the Mahāyānasaṃgraha have themselves resolved this. Furthermore, the Dāsheng tongxing jing states: attaining Buddhahood in a pure land is always [as] the saṃbhogakāya, while those in impure lands are all the nirmāṇakāya. Therefore we know that the lands in which the nirmāṇakāya dwells cannot be called pure. The mention of "pure land" here is said with reference to temporary transformation. This is just like the three purifications of regions in the Lotus Sūtra, and the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa is also the same.
