What are, according to the sutras, the three continents resonating with Weituo Bodhisattva? Why delivering and transforming only three of them?
The three continents resonating with Weituo Bodhisattva are
Purvavideha in the east, Jambudvipa in the south, and Aparagodaniya
in the west. According to the sutras, Mount Sumeru in the center is
peripherally surrounded by four continents, which are the three
aforementioned plus Uttarakuru in the north. Weituo Bodhisattva
protects and guards, delivers and transforms all but Uttarakuru in
the north, where the living beings continue in joy and prosperity, are
unaware of the Dharma and life' s defilements, and hence are in no
need for help.
