淨土論 2.16

### [2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.16)

答曰：此是不愚法人，信有十方諸佛及以淨土，發願迴向，始得往生。若悟果竟，佛為說《法華經》並迴心向大也。此是《智度論》文也。若論二乘無學人，不問愚法、不愚法，悉生淨土中，以受變易生死，三界中無受生處故也。

> Answer: These are persons who are not foolish regarding the Dharma: they believe in the Buddhas of the ten directions and in the pure lands, and by making vows and dedicating merit, they first attain rebirth. Once they have awakened to the fruit, the Buddha preaches the Lotus Sūtra for them, and they turn their minds toward the Mahāyāna. This is a passage from the Dazhidulun. As for the arhats beyond training (aśaikṣa) of the two vehicles, regardless of whether they are foolish regarding the Dharma or not foolish regarding the Dharma, all are born in the pure land, because having undergone transformation-body birth and death, there is no place within the three realms for them to take birth.
