遊心安樂道 1.9

1.9

Therefore, testing the discussion, the location of that realm has different delimitations according to the Ekayāna and the triyāna. If relying on the Ekayāna, the pure land of Sukhāvatī is subsumed within the ocean of Lotus-Treasury Worlds. Why? Because the lands of the ten Buddhas are completely interfused and ineffable, and what is seen in the causal stage of Samantabhadra is without delimitation. If relying on the triyāna, the Western pure land generally comprises four lands: first, the dharmatā land; second, the true reward land; third, the enjoyment land; fourth, the transformation land. Among them, the dharmatā and true reward [lands] are of one taste and equal bliss, pervading the dharmadhātu, beyond the reckoning of others; the enjoyment and transformation [lands] respond to vows and accord with capacities, praised in accordance with faculties, and can be attained by pointing to a direction. Hence the Shorter Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra says: "Passing from here through a hundred thousand koṭis of Buddha lands to the west, there is a world named Sukhāvatī."
