往生集 3.7

3.7

贊曰。此界他方。往生無量。淨土何以容之。噫滄海尚納百川。虛空猶含萬象。而無邊剎海。不出普賢一毛孔中。然則舉淨土針鋒之地。而容無盡之往生。不亦恢恢乎。有餘裕哉。

The eulogy says: Rebirths from this world and other directions are limitless; how can the Pure Land accommodate them? Ah, the vast ocean can still take in a hundred rivers, and empty space still contains the myriad phenomena, while the boundless ocean of fields does not exceed a single pore of Samantabhadra. Thus, if a place the size of a needlepoint in the Pure Land can accommodate inexhaustible rebirths, is it not vast, with room to spare?
