安樂集 1.61

1.61

答曰：「既云淨土，無有眾穢。若言著樂，便是貪愛煩惱，何名為淨？是故《大經》云：『彼國人天，往來進止，情無所繫。』又四十八願云：『十方人天，來至我國，若起想念貪計身者，不取正覺。』《大經》又云：『彼國人天，無所適莫。』何有著樂之理也？」

I reply: Since it is called the Pure Land, there are no defilements. If one speaks of attachment to pleasure, that is the affliction of greed and craving; how could it be called pure? Therefore the Larger Sūtra says: 'The humans and devas of that realm, in coming and going, advancing and stopping, have no attachments in their minds.' Furthermore, the forty-eight vows state: 'If the humans and devas of the ten directions who come to my realm should give rise to thoughts of greed and possessiveness toward their bodies, may I not attain correct awakening.' The Larger Sūtra also says: 'The humans and devas of that land have neither partiality nor aversion.' What reason could there be for attachment to pleasure?
