2.464

At that time the Buddha told Śāriputra: "There is a land named Abhirati; the Buddha is named Akṣobhya. This Vimalakīrti passed away from that land to come and be born here." / Below, the second part clarifies the response body and response land, in two sections: first, discussing response matters; second, manifesting the body and land. The previous text has four parts: first, the Buddha reveals the name of the land; second, Śāriputra generates doubt; third, questioning by means of a metaphor; fourth, explaining response matters. This is the first. Since above, identifying birth as non-birth is the true body, here clarifying that not being born one can be born is the response body. The land is also like this; hence the Buddha reveals his passing away and being born.
