維摩經義記卷第四 4.51

4.51

第二段。以諸淨國嚴飾之事以下訖聞佛無量德志而不捲。明舉佛果顯三種勝事樹出其行。上既明自行外化必得佛果故。次舉佛果三事樹出其行。以諸淨國嚴飾之事成已佛土者。是為一事。明以佛果淨國嚴飾故修行住要成己佛土也。開門大施具足相好者。此為第二事。施本能資於刑。是故因中行施能具佛果三十二相八十種好也。自有施心少財物多自施心多財物少。此二不備。不能應無方之求。此二兼備恣其所須。除一切惡淨身口意生死無數劫意而有勇者。成上第二事。明因淨則果妙。正以能除諸惡淨於三等。處生死化物無畏故得淨土法身也。聞佛無量德志而不惓者。此是第三事。明聞佛無量功德修行住取志願無捲也。

The second section is from "Using the adornments of all pure lands" down to "hearing the immeasurable virtues of the Buddha, his resolve never tires," which explains adducing the buddha-fruit to reveal three kinds of superior matters and establish their practices. Above, having explained that one's own practice and outward transformation will certainly attain the buddha-fruit, next the three matters of the buddha-fruit are adduced to establish their practices. "Using the adornments of all pure lands to accomplish one's own buddha-land": This is the first matter. It explains that because of the adornments of the pure lands of the buddha-fruit, one practices and abides in the essentials to accomplish one's own buddha-land. "Opening the gate of great giving to become fully equipped with the major marks and minor signs": This is the second matter. Giving originally can enhance the physical form; therefore, practicing giving in the causal stage can equip one with the thirty-two marks and eighty secondary signs of the buddha-fruit. Naturally, some have little mind to give but much wealth; others have much mind to give but little wealth. If these two are not both complete, one cannot respond to boundless requests; when these two are both prepared, one satisfies whatever is needed. "Eradicating all evils, purifying body, speech, and mind, through countless kalpas of saṃsāra, the mind remains courageous": This completes the second matter above. It explains that when the cause is pure, the fruit is wondrous: precisely because one can eradicate all evils and purify the three [actions], abiding in saṃsāra to transform beings without fear, one attains the pure land and dharmakāya. "Hearing the immeasurable virtues of the Buddha, his resolve never tires": This is the third matter. It explains that hearing the immeasurable merits of the Buddha, one practices and abides in attaining them, and one's aspiration never tires.
