摩訶止觀 7.7

7.7

Now, in explaining the five hundred yojanas: first, in terms of locations of birth-and-death, the retributions of the three realms constitute three hundred, and the land of expedient remainder and the land of true reward without obstruction constitute the locations of five hundred yojanas. Next, in terms of afflictions: the delusions of the view of the truths constitute one hundred, the five lower bonds constitute two hundred, the five upper bonds constitute three hundred, [delusions like] dust and sand constitute four hundred, and avidyā constitutes five hundred. Next, in terms of the wisdom of contemplation: the wisdom of the contemplation of emptiness knows the three hundred, the wisdom of the contemplation of provisionality knows the four hundred, and the wisdom of the contemplation of the middle knows the five hundred. This accords with the text and is free from the errors of the previous masters.
