9.41

Moreover, the Duren miaojing says: 'Above the five hundred million tiers of heaven lies the Heaven of Grand Net, where there is Mount Yujing, which disasters cannot reach.' Calculating on the basis of the Supreme Lord's compassion, why did he not welcome them so as to place them on Yujing? If he watched them die without welcoming them, that is not compassionate; if he was unable to welcome them, that is deception! Furthermore, the Duren benxing jing says: 'The Dao said: I undergo birth and death in accordance with the kalpas.' Yet if the Supreme Dao Lord dwells above Grand Net where disasters cannot reach, and still says he undergoes birth and death in accordance with the kalpas, how could the other flying immortals welcome and take up heavenly kings and good people, placing them on top of the mountain to let them escape death? This is profoundly foolish and ignorant, and likewise laughable.
