Where is the Sahā world located? What is meant by ‘those who delight in lesser dharmas’?” They immediately asked the Buddha about this. > Below this is the third \[part\], clarifying that those mahāsattvas were astonished. The text has four parts. This is the first, praising and questioning. Within the questions are three: first, asking where he came from—it should say who emanated him to come, namely that Jingming emanated him; second, asking the location of Sahā—Sahā is rendered here as ‘mixed assembly,’ because defiled and evil sentient beings gather together in one place; it is also rendered as ‘endurance,’ because only the Buddha Śākyamuni is able to endure dwelling there; third, asking what is meant by ‘those who delight in lesser dharmas.’ Zhao says: “That land is purely Mahāyāna, and they have not heard the name of delighting in lesser dharmas; hence this question.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.302](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.302) - [Next: 2.304](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.304) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.2.303) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.303](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.303) · Pramāṇa
