Within the Mahāyāna, there are further definitive and non-definitive \[teachings\]. What is discussed now concerning the Pure Land is exclusively the definitive among definitive teachings of the Mahāyāna. Moreover, though one searches through all the palm-leaf scriptures of the Hīnayāna canon, there is not a single word praising and encouraging rebirth in another pure land. Therefore, Vasubandhu's treatise says: "Women, those with defective sense faculties, and the seed of the two vehicles are not born \[there\]."
