答：「念佛往生得三十二相，具六神通，長生不死，超過三界，直至成佛，更不墮落，菩薩聖眾共為伴侶，阿彌陀佛親自說法；無生觀成生長壽天，經八萬大劫還墮惡道。無生觀，萬中無一得成就者，為不時宜。假令得成生長壽天，不出三界。剋十而論，不如淨土百千萬倍。」

> Answer: "By buddhānusmṛti and rebirth, one obtains the thirty-two marks, is endowed with the six supernormal powers, has eternal life without death, transcends the three realms, proceeds straight to buddhahood without ever falling back again, has the assembly of bodhisattva-sages as companions, and has Amitābha Buddha preaching the Dharma in person. When the contemplation of non-arising is accomplished, one is born in the Long-Life Heaven, and after eighty thousand great kalpas one still falls back into the evil destinies. In the contemplation of non-arising, not one in ten thousand achieves accomplishment, because it is not appropriate for the times. Even if one achieves it and is born in the Long-Life Heaven, one does not transcend the three realms. Conclusively speaking, it is hundreds of thousands of myriads of times inferior to the pure land."
