十八問:《妙玄》第九解本門得益云:令法身菩薩得大利益,抹十萬那由他土為塵數,增道菩薩不能令盡。近代疑者云:〈分別功德品〉但舉大千界中千界四天下等塵數,尚不及百千,何言十萬那由他耶?

Eighteenth Question: In the ninth fascicle of the Miaoxuan, explaining the attainment of benefit in the Origin Section, it says: 'It causes the Dharmakāya Bodhisattvas to gain great benefit; even if a hundred thousand nayutas of lands were reduced to dust, the bodhisattvas of increased stages could not exhaust it.' A recent doubter says: 'The "Chapter on the Discrimination of Merits" only mentions dust particles of a great-thousand world, a medium-thousand world, the four continents, and so forth, which do not even reach a hundred thousand; how can it say a hundred thousand nayutas?'
