4.17

第二往生所信境者，謂阿彌陀佛國一乘三乘不同。若依一乘，阿彌陀土屬世界海攝。何以故？為近引初機成信教境，真實佛國圓融不可說故。若依三乘，西方淨土是實報處，通成四土：一法性土、二事淨土、三實報土、四化淨土。化者是報化也，非化身化。於中所有佛及土田菩薩眷屬，如《攝論》。十七觀境圓淨泉池華菓諸乘優劣雜類不同，並對娑婆有情眾生依正果報所有色心境界，皆悉翻對引接，令成生信法門。如西方佛，引此方樂佛習心。西方樹林，引此方樂樹林習心。西方菩薩，引此方樂伴善知識習心。西方八功德水，引此方樂水習心。如是一切，並皆準知，而依四種淨土而消息之。

Second, the realm of faith for rebirth: Amitābha Buddha's land differs between the Ekayāna and the Triyāna. If relying on the Ekayāna, Amitābha's land is subsumed under the ocean of worlds. Why is this? Because it provisionally guides initial capacities to accomplish the doctrinal realm of faith, whereas the real Buddha land is perfectly interfused and ineffable. If relying on the Triyāna, the Western Pure Land is a place of actual retribution, and collectively constitutes four lands: (1) the land of dharma-nature, (2) the phenomenal pure land, (3) the land of actual retribution, and (4) the transformed pure land. 'Transformed' here is the transformation of the retribution body, not the transformation of the transformation body (nirmāṇakāya). The Buddhas, lands, bodhisattvas, and retinues within it are as described in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha. The seventeen objects of visualization—the perfectly pure springs, ponds, flowers, and fruits, the superiority and inferiority of the various vehicles, and the various mixed classes—all counter and correspond to all the realms of form and mind of the sentient beings of the Sahā world, their primary and secondary retributions; they are completely overturned and opposed in order to attract and receive them, bringing them to accomplish the dharma-gate of generating faith. Just as the Buddha of the West attracts the habitual mind of this world that delights in Buddhas; the groves of trees of the West attract the habitual mind of this world that delights in groves of trees; the bodhisattvas of the West attract the habitual mind of this world that delights in companions who are good spiritual friends; the waters of eight merits of the West attract the habitual mind of this world that delights in water. Everything like this is to be known by analogy in all cases, and evaluated according to the four kinds of pure lands.
