The desire realm here fully possesses two meanings: first, there is active desire; second, there is seed desire. Because it possesses both meanings, there is the defilement of male and female, craving and pursuing sights and sounds, and enjoying dwelling in the burning house of the three existences. As for the desire realm in the West, there is only seed desire, and no active desire. Since there is no active desire, there are none of the aforementioned faults, nor are there unwholesome minds or indeterminate minds; there are only wholesome minds. Therefore, among the eighteen complete purities in the She lun, it says: 'The pure land has only pleasant feeling, and has neither painful nor neutral feeling.' As the Dafagu jing (Mahābherīhāraka-parivarta-sūtra) says: 'Painful feeling is unwholesome, pleasant feeling is wholesome, and neutral feeling is indeterminate.' Since there is only wholesome mind, there is no ground for giving rise to evil. Thus the Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra says: 'In Amitābha's country, there is not even a hair's breadth of ground for committing evil.' Although it is called the desire realm, how could it be the same? As with the desire realm, the form realm is also like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.1.24) - [Next: 1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.1.26) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963~en-mt.1.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.1.25) · Pramāṇa
