I have that book, and it contains a lot of translation errors. I haven't read that sermon yet. I'm working through it doing my own translation. I don't disagree with the sentiment that impure minds result in impure beings, but I highly doubt that Bodhidharma talked of buddha-lands.

Bodhidharma brought the Lankavatara Sutra to China, in which "buddhaland" is an used term.
