四明尊者教行錄 2.17

2.17

又問曰：若能圓修三觀深趣妙理，何不只在娑婆直出生死，豈須捨此求彼？又自修三觀，何名淨土之行？

Question: If one can perfectly cultivate the threefold contemplation and deeply penetrate the wondrous principle, why not directly transcend birth and death right here in the Sahā world? Why must one abandon this and seek that? Moreover, if one cultivates the threefold contemplation oneself, why is it called the practice of the Pure Land?
