1.35

Answer: To prohibit first and open later is the constant rule of the Buddhas. The Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha-sūtra was spoken first because it broadly explains the causes and conditions of the bhikṣu Dharmākara and clarifies matters of rebirth. The Contemplation Sūtra was spoken later because it solely discusses the matter of rebirth.
