2.16

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.
