3.10

Question: Fascicle 10 of the Candragarbha section of the Mahāsaṃnipāta Sūtra states: 'Sentient beings of the Sahā world who slander the true Dharma and revile the noble and holy are collectively cast out by all the pure Buddha-lands of the ten directions.' Thus we know that the sentient beings cast out by this sūtra are third-stage people, who should not attain rebirth in the pure land. Why do you today make those evil people of the third stage equal to those of the first and second stages, asserting that all can attain rebirth in the pure land?
