The idea that the Buddha’s pure land is immanent in our deluded world by no means originated with Nichiren. The concept of the nonduality or inseparability of person and land, or of the living subject and their objective world (J. eshō funi), is integral to Zhiyi’s concept of three thousand realms in a single thought-moment. Because the environment mirrors the life condition of the persons inhabiting it, the world of hell dwellers would be hellish, while the world of a fully awakened person would be a buddha land. In light of the ichinen sanzen principle, to break through the narrow confines of the small self and to “see” or access the realm in which oneself (person) and everything else (environment) are mutually inclusive and inseparable is to realize enlightenment. As Zhanran expressed it, “You should know that one’s person and land are [both] the single thought-moment comprising three thousand realms. Therefore, when one attains the way, in accordance with this principle, one’s body and one’s mind in that moment pervade the dharma realm.” To manifest buddhahood is thus to experience this present world as the buddha land.
