釋淨土群疑論 4.26

4.26

問曰：如《法華經》說「著樂癡所盲」，又言「耽著世樂無有慧心」。又聖教言「若不厭苦，無以樂求涅槃。若不樂求涅槃，便即樂著生死。」若然者，生彼淨土與上義相違，便成障道之患。一即耽著世樂，不有出世之心。二即無厭苦心，絕求寂滅之果。斯為大損，何願生乎？

Question: As the Lotus Sūtra says, 'Blinded by the folly of clinging to pleasures,' and also says, 'Indulging in worldly pleasures, they lack the mind of wisdom.' Furthermore, the sacred teachings say, 'If one does not revile suffering, one has no means to joyfully seek nirvāṇa. If one does not joyfully seek nirvāṇa, one immediately delights in and clings to saṃsāra.' If that is so, being born in that pure land conflicts with the above meaning and turns into a detriment that obstructs the path. First, by indulging in worldly pleasures, one will not have a mind directed toward transcending the world. Second, lacking a mind of revulsion toward suffering, one cuts off seeking the fruit of quiescence. This being a great detriment, why should one vow to be born there?
