Question 5
You have said, Master, that pure and impure are interpenetrating, that each speck of dust is a Land of Ultimate
Bliss. Why is it, then, that the Saha World has become an impure world?
Answer
It is due to the karma of sentient beings, which has changed a pure place into an impure one. In the eyes of the Buddha, however, all impurities are pure. In any event, how can Sakyamuni Buddha’s Land of True Reward be really
impure?
