釋淨土群疑論 5.40

Language: Classical Chinese

5.40

問曰：眾香世界與極樂世界，俱是大乘清淨佛土。何因眾香世界無有聲聞辟支佛名，唯有清淨大菩薩眾，而極樂世界乃有無量無邊聲聞弟子。此聲聞眾豈非小乘耶？

Question: The Gandhamādana (Fragrance-Filled) World and Sukhāvatī are both pure Buddha-lands of the Mahāyāna. For what reason is there no name of śrāvaka or pratyekabuddha in the Gandhamādana World, having only a pure assembly of great bodhisattvas, whereas Sukhāvatī has countless and boundless śrāvaka disciples? Is this assembly of śrāvakas not indeed Hīnayāna?
