2.6

"Moreover, Śāriputra, the land of Sukhāvatī has ponds of the seven jewels filled with water of eight virtues. The bottoms of the ponds are spread purely with golden sand. The stairways on the four sides are composed of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal. Above are multistoried pavilions, likewise adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, giant clam, red pearl, and agate. The lotus blossoms in the ponds are as large as chariot wheels—the blue ones radiating blue light, the yellow ones radiating yellow light, the red ones radiating red light, and the white ones radiating white light—subtle, wonderful, fragrant, and pure. Śāriputra, the land of Sukhāvatī is accomplished with such virtues and adornments as these.
