釋淨土群疑論 4.2

4.2

問曰：《法華經》說「謗斯經者常生難處，永不見佛眾聖中尊。」如何此經謗法之人得生西方，見佛聞法，永離眾苦？若爾，如何常生難處？

Question: The Lotus Sūtra says: 'Those who slander this sūtra will always be born in difficult places, never seeing the Buddha, the most revered among the holy ones.' How is it that those who slander the Dharma in this sūtra can attain rebirth in the West, see the Buddha, hear the Dharma, and forever leave all suffering behind? If that is so, how could they always be born in difficult places?
