【解】： 复次，「世界」及「佛」皆言「有」者，具四义：
[Explanation]: Furthermore, [of the] ‘world’ and ‘Buddha’ all spoken [as] ‘is’, [this is] complete [with] Four [Siddhāntas’ (四悉檀)] meanings。
[Note: The Four Siddhāntas are the Buddha’s teaching methods, from the simple to the profound, to universally give the Dharma to sentient beings.]
的标实境，令欣求故；
[1] Really indicating [a] true realm, [to] enable joyful Aspiration thus.
诚语指示，令专一故；
[2] [With] truthful words pointing [and] guiding, [to] enable focus [that is] wholehearted thus.
简非乾城阳焰，非权现曲示，非缘影虚妄，非保真偏但，破魔邪权小故；
[3] Simply [said, it is] not [like a] gandharva’s [illusory] city [for tricking travellers, or the] sun’s ‘flames’ [forming a mirage], not [an] expedient [means] manifesting [as a] winding instruction, not [a] conditioned image [seen in meditation or hallucination that is] false [and] illusory, not guarding [emptiness as] true [Nirvāṇa, or] partial [to the Middle Path] only, destroying [the] demonic, evil, expedient [and] Small [Vehicle’s partial views] thus;
圆彰性具，令深证故。
[4] Perfectly manifesting [Buddha-]nature completely, [to] enable profound realisation [of Buddhahood] thus.
「今现在说法」者，简上依正二「有」，非过去已灭，未来未成，正应发愿往生，亲觐听法，速成正觉也。
On ‘now speaking [the] Dharma’, [the] above simply [are the] Circumstantial Reward [of Āmítuófó’s Pure Land (依报) and the] Direct [Reward of Āmítuófó’s physical body (正报), with these] two ‘is’, [which are] not [in the] past already extinguished, [or in the] future yet [to be] accomplished. Rightly, [we] should give rise [to] Aspiration [to be] reborn [in Āmítuófó’s Pure Land, to] personally [have] audience [with Āmítuófó to] hear [the] Dharma, [to] swiftly accomplish [the] right awakening [of Buddhahood].
