Yet, true thusness and buddha-nature are neither body nor land, though body and land are spoken of. Apart from the body there is no land, and apart from the land there is no body; designating it a 'land' is one phenomenon with two meanings. The dwelling place of Vairocana in the Samantabhadra Contemplation is called 'Eternally Quiescent Light.' Question: The Avataṃsaka explains ten kinds of buddha-lands; does this \[classification of\] four subsume them all or not? Answer: Not only does it subsume the ten. Someone has even said that the sūtras explain twenty-seven grades of buddha-lands, and the land of Immeasurable Life is only the sixth; when matched against the four in the present text, it subsumes them without exception. Question: Why not rely on the ten and the twenty-seven? Answer: Even if there are texts to that effect, the intention when seeking to match them with the four teachings would be difficult to discern. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.42) - [Next: 4.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.44) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a~en-mt.4.43) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經略疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.30) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.43) · Pramāṇa
