《觀經疏》曰「應佛皆為兩量，逐物隨緣參差長短。」《妙宗》釋曰「佛佛既皆三身圓證，應身被物、物壽長短，豈不隨順各示兩量？故彌陀現長亦能現短，釋迦現短亦能現長。」

> The \*Commentary on the Contemplation Sūtra\* states: "Response Buddhas all adopt two measures, varying in length and shortness according to beings and following conditions." The \*Subtle Meaning Commentary\* explains: "Since all Buddhas have fully realized the trikāya, when their response bodies guide beings, and the lifespans of beings vary in length, how could they not accommodate them by displaying the two measures? Therefore, Amitābha manifests long yet can also manifest short, and Śākyamuni manifests short yet can also manifest long."
