Sahā is a defiled land; Sukhāvatī is a pure land. The lifespan in Sahā has a measure, but the lifespan in that land is immeasurable. Sahā is replete with all sufferings, while that land provides peaceful nurture free from suffering. Sahā turns in the wheel of birth and death according to karma; once one goes to that land, one eternally realizes anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti, and if one vows to deliver sentient beings, one does so freely at will, no longer turned by various karmas. Their purity and defilement, length of lifespan, suffering and joy, and birth and death differ like this, yet sentient beings are blindly unaware—how can this not be lamentable? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.2) - [Next: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.4) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966~en-mt.1.3) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨土十疑論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1961.1.3) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.3) · Pramāṇa
