English version Sentient beings born in the heavens (Sheng Tian) (referring to heavens attained through practice or good deeds). Heaven of Blessed Love (Fu Ai Tian). Heaven of Great Fruition (Guang Guo Tian) (these three heavens are attainable by ordinary beings through practice). Heaven of Non-Perception (Wu Xiang Tian) (this is a heaven described by non-Buddhist teachings). Heaven of No Affliction (Wu Fan Tian). Heaven of No Heat (Wu Re Tian). Heaven of Good View (Shan Jian Tian). Heaven of Good Manifestation (Shan Xian Tian). Heaven of Ultimate Form (Se Jiu Jing Tian) (these five heavens are the abodes of Anagamin (third-stage) saints who do not return to the desire realm, also known as the Five Pure Abodes). These nine heavens are also free from the joy of the third Dhyana and attain the four qualities of neither suffering nor joy, equanimity, mindfulness, and one-pointedness, hence they are called the Land of Purity of Equanimity and Mindfulness. The above four realms are called **, because they are bounded by the form aggregate (rupa-skandha). The Realm of the Infinity of Space (Liu Kong Wu Bian Chu Di), the Surangama Sutra says: 'If one dwells in the mind of equanimity, the abandonment of aversion is accomplished, and the body is felt as an obstacle, eliminating the obstacle and entering emptiness.' Such beings are called the Realm of the Infinity of Space. The Realm of the Infinity of Consciousness (Shi Wu Bian Chu), is where all obstacles have been eliminated, there is no obstruction and no annihilation, only the Alaya consciousness remains, which is entirely half the subtle state of the Manas consciousness. Such beings are called the Realm of the Infinity of Consciousness. The Realm of No-Thingness (Wu Suo You Chu), is where form and emptiness have disappeared, and the mind of consciousness is completely extinguished, the ten directions are silent, and there is nowhere to go. Such beings are called the Realm of No-Thingness. The Realm of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception (Fei Fei Xiang Chu), is where the nature of consciousness is unmoving, using extinction to investigate thoroughly, in the midst of the infinite, proclaiming the nature of extinction, as if existing and not existing, as if extinguished and not extinguished. Such beings are called the Realm of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception. These four realms have no form aggregate, so they are called without **. They are also called the Twenty-Five Existences (Er Shi Wu You), referring to the four continents, the four evil destinies, the six desire heavens, the Brahma heavens, the four Dhyana heavens, the four formless realms, the Heaven of Non-Perception, and the Anagamin heavens. These beings are all subject to the causes and effects of defilements, hence they are called the Twenty-Five Existences. The above explains the situation of ordinary beings; the following explains the situation of sages. There are two types of sages: provisional sages and real sages. Real sages refer to the Arhats of the Tripitaka teaching, the Bodhisattvas of the six grounds of the shared teaching, the Bodhisattvas of the ten abodes of the distinct teaching, and the Bodhisattvas of the ten faiths of the perfect teaching. Although they have severed the delusions of views and affections, their reward body still exists, hence they are called real sages. Provisional sages refer to these sages, who are from the Land of Stillness and Light (Ji Guang), the Land of Real Reward (Shi Bao), or the Land of Expedient Means (Fang Bian), due to their great compassion and vows, they appear in this world out of compassion for sentient beings, not because of karmic forces. Because these two types of sages live together with ordinary beings, it is called the Land of Co-dwelling of Ordinary Beings and Sages. Question: If the inhabitants of the Land of Co-dwelling include both provisional and real sages, do the three lands above also have provisional and real sages?

English version: 'Expedient Lands. Two Provisional and One Real. If one is born from severing delusions in the Land of Co-dwelling, like the previous nine cases, they are collectively called One Real. If, from the Lands of Tranquil Light and Real Reward, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, in order to guide those of fixed Two Vehicle nature (Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas), and Bodhisattvas before the Ten Grounds (Bhūmi), causing them to enter the correct position, demonstrate dwelling in Expedient Lands, this is called Two Provisional. In the Land of Real Reward, there is One Provisional and One Real. The forty-one positions (of Bodhisattvas), are collectively called One Real. The Dharma-body Buddha of Wonderful Enlightenment, manifesting a Reward Body appearance, is called Provisional. In the Land of Tranquil Light, there is only Real, without Provisional, because this is where all Buddhas dwell. The first part, explaining the names and meanings of the Four Lands, is complete.' '○ Second, explaining the purity and impurity of the Four Lands' 'The purity and impurity of the Four Lands is as follows. The Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra says, 'The lightness or heaviness of the Five Turbidities (kaṣāya) determines the purity or impurity of the Land of Co-dwelling. The skillfulness or clumsiness of the analytical or comprehensive understanding determines the purity or impurity of the Land of Residual Reward. Gradual or sudden entry determines the purity or impurity of the Land of Real Reward. Partial or complete realization determines the purity or impurity of the Land of Tranquil Light.' The Explanation of the Wondrous Principle says, 'The Five Turbidities are the Turbidity of the Age (kalpa-kaṣāya), the Turbidity of Views (dṛṣṭi-kaṣāya), the Turbidity of Afflictions (kleśa-kaṣāya), the Turbidity of Beings (sattva-kaṣāya), and the Turbidity of Life (āyu-kaṣāya). If these Five Turbidities are light, the Land of Co-dwelling that is experienced will be pure, like the Land of Ultimate Bliss (Sukhāvatī) and the Land of Wonderful Joy (Abhirati). If the Five Turbidities are heavy, it will be defiled, like the present Saha World. Even the Saha World has different levels of purity and impurity. For example, the ordinary positions of the Four Teachings (Tripiṭaka, Common, Distinct, and Perfect) can all lighten the turbidities, so what is experienced is pure. The Perfect Teaching lightens the turbidities, so the environment and beings of the Land of Co-dwelling that is experienced are the purest. Speaking of the skillfulness or clumsiness of the analytical or comprehensive understanding, the Land of Residual Reward has purity and impurity. Comprehensive understanding refers to the comprehensive emptiness contemplation of the Common Teaching. Analytical understanding refers to the analytical emptiness contemplation of the Tripiṭaka Teaching. Those of the Common Teaching are wise, so their use of contemplation is skillful. They can understand that the Five Aggregates (skandha) (form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness) are inherently empty, without needing to analyze them to know emptiness. They use this wisdom of comprehensive emptiness to sever delusions and realize truth. Those of the Tripiṭaka Teaching are not wise, so their use of contemplation is clumsy. They must analyze the Four Great Elements (mahābhūta) and the Five Aggregates before they can know the emptiness of self. They use this wisdom of analytical emptiness to sever delusions and realize truth. However, the pure aspect of this land is also broad. Analytical contemplation experiences defilement, and is only applicable to the Tripiṭaka Teaching. Comprehensive contemplation experiences purity, and is not exclusive to those of the Common Teaching. The three teachings of the Mahāyāna (Distinct, Perfect, and Common) all explain the principle of comprehensiveness in contrast to the analytical contemplation of the Tripiṭaka Teaching. The Common Teaching only comprehends emptiness, the Distinct Teaching comprehends emptiness in stages, and the Perfect Teaching comprehends emptiness without stages. When these three types of people are reborn in that land, they all experience a pure aspect, with those of the Perfect Teaching being the purest. Speaking of gradual or sudden entry, the Land of Real Reward has purity and impurity. Gradual refers to' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
