3.61

In the Three Vehicles, the dharma-nature land and the land for one's own enjoyment are not discussed here. As for Śākyamuni Buddha's real reward pure land for the enjoyment of others, some say it is in the Maheśvara heaven, and that his transformation body fills ten billion Jambudvīpas, which is the scope of those transformed, as taught in the Brahmajāla-sūtra, the Abhidharmasamuccaya, and elsewhere. One should know that this is stated according to the initial teaching. Why is this? Because the teachings of the two vehicles take Śākyamuni's body to be the real reward, now, reversing that, it is shown to be a transformation; therefore, a separate real reward [land] is established in that heaven. Furthermore, fearing that the two vehicles would not believe that there is a real pure land outside the triple world, it is provisionally explained in the supreme place within the world. That his transformation body merely fills ten billion [continents] and so forth also accords with that teaching.
