Dharma Master Yuanbian of Yanqing had an exposition on the mind-only Pure Land, which has already been carved in the preceding collection. Now, its essential points are also found in the Collection of Precious Pearls, which says: The mind-only Pure Land is simply one and that is all. It is truly because Amitābha is enlightened to the precious realm of my own mind, and my own mind is replete with Amitābha's Land of Bliss. Though distant, it is near, not departing from a single thought; though near, it is distant, passing beyond hundreds of thousands of koṭis of lands. For example, when the bright moon in the blue sky casts its reflection upon the myriad waters, the water does not ascend, nor does the moon descend; the water and the moon are at one boundary, naturally illuminating and reflecting each other.
