2.311

"Furthermore, do not harbor thoughts of disdain or obstruction toward them. Why is that? The lands of the ten directions are all like empty space. Moreover, it is solely because the Buddhas wish to transform those who delight in lesser teachings that they do not fully display their pure lands." (Third, the admonition against disdain. The text poses the question and explains it. Sentient beings of the Sahā world despise what is inferior when they encounter it, feel ashamed when they see what is superior, and become attached when they meet what is fine. Therefore, [the Buddha] uses those [bodhisattvas] to admonish these [beings].)
