This is stated according to the final teaching: because it does not accord with the lower teachings, it reveals that Sahā is purely a transformation \[land\]. Therefore, one should know that the body at the summit of the form realm is also not the real reward. Or it is said that the transformation sphere is not merely ten billion: as in the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, taking a trichiliocosm as one unit, counting up to Ganges sands makes one world nature; counting this again up to Ganges sands makes one world ocean; counting this again up to immeasurable Ganges sands makes one world system; counting this again up to immeasurable Ganges sands of the ten directions makes the scope of what is transformed by one buddha world. This is also stated according to the final teaching, because its gathering and transforming is gradually broader than the former. Furthermore, it is stated solely in terms of worlds with Mount Sumeru, because he resides in this world, and has not yet spoken of tree-shaped worlds and so forth; thus it is not the One Vehicle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.3.61) - [Next: 3.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.3.63) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866~en-mt.3.62) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [華嚴經探玄記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.3.53) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.3.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.3.62) · Pramāṇa
