520 |a In The Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha, the descriptions of "no women" and "transforming the female body" cause criticism and defense among modern researchers. However, "woman" as the central discourse has not been clarified. In the Buddhist gender myth, the fundamental distinction between men and women is the realization of "sexual difference", which means that the subject orientates its desire and ways to satisfy the desire in the world of the conditioned co-arising. Therefore, what the Land of Bliss negates is more desire itself than women. "No women" eliminates the desire and ego-grasping of male Buddhists, and "transforming the female body" enlightens female Buddhists as to the emptiness of herself and the impossibility of desire. As a result, all sentient beings are liberated from sexuality and practice the act of truth.
