釋淨土群疑論 7.16

7.16

問曰：下品中生六劫花開，下品下生十二劫華開。為取此方日月歲數積以成劫？為取淨土日月歲數以成劫耶？

Question: For the middle birth of the lowest grade, the flower opens in six kalpas; for the lower birth of the lowest grade, the flower opens in twelve kalpas. Does this take the sun, moon, and year-count of this world and accumulate them to make a kalpa? Or does it take the sun, moon, and year-count of the Pure Land to make a kalpa?
