維摩經疏 1.14

1.14

下淨土中先明自利無量功德皆悉成就。淨土因成如下文說。無量佛土皆已嚴淨。淨土果就自報離染名之為淨。又用自在亦名為淨。淨滿法界故曰無量。下明利他。其見聞者無不蒙益。親近益也。見形聞名皆得益矣。諸有所作亦不唐捐。順行益也。捐謂捐棄。無有順行虛然唐棄。名不唐捐。上來別嘆。

Below, in [the section on] the pure land, svārtha is first clarified: "immeasurable merits are all accomplished." The causes of the pure land are completed, as explained in the text below. "Immeasurable Buddha-lands are already adorned and purified." The fruit of the pure land is attained; one's own retribution being free from defilement is called "pure." Furthermore, sovereign function is also called "pure." Purifying and filling the dharmadhātu, it is called "immeasurable." Below, parārtha is clarified: "those who see and hear are none who do not receive benefit." This is the benefit of closeness: seeing their forms or hearing their names, all attain benefit. "Whatever they do is not in vain." This is the benefit of practice: "vain" means cast away; having no practice in accordance that is futilely and idly cast away is called "not in vain." The above has specifically praised them.
