biên địa
border lands
- Outlying regions; birth in a barbaric land where the Buddha's doctrine does not exist; barbarians. The Sanskrit mleccha is transliterated as 蜜利車. The countries bordering on Jambudvīpa. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, Soothill]
- The border land to Amitâbha's Pure Land, where the lax and haughty, cf. 懈慢, are detained for 500 years, also called 胎宮 womb-palace and 邊界 border-realm. "You [Maitreya], and others, should make every effort to pursue your aspiration. You must not acquire doubts and despair midway, nor make offenses, otherwise you will be born in a seven-jewel pavilion at the border-region, and for the five hundred years of your life there, you will encounter various misfortunes."
