To convert sentient beings, I manifest the turning of the wheel of the Dharma in this world.' Also, in the Aṅgulimāla-sūtra, the Buddha said to Aṅgulimāla: 'I abide in the limit of anutpāda, but you do not perceive it.' Aṅgulimāla said: 'If you abide in the limit of anutpāda, why were you born in this land?' The Buddha said: 'There is a Buddha in the east; go and ask him.' Aṅgulimāla went and asked, and that Buddha answered: 'Śākyamuni is none other than my body.' The general meaning is that that pure land is the Buddha's true reward, whereas this is an emanation. Although it displays the reward realm of a Buddha, it does not contain the principle of receiving and transforming beings; it exists on the part of the Buddha, but does not exist on the part of sentient beings, so it is not superior. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.1.48) - [Next: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.1.50) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976~en-mt.1.49) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.4.42) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.1.49) · Pramāṇa
