Humans are born naturally with differences in gender and looks. Although having these given differences, we are the same in receiving all functional benefits of Amitabha’s name as long as we exclusively recite it, because the name is [the result of] crystallization of all virtues of all practices, and thus has the function of taking us to the Land of Bliss.

In other words, this Name can eradicate all our karmic obstructions, enrich our meritorious blessings, and naturally lead us to the realm of nirvana in the Land of Bliss at the near end of our life.

就好像人生下來，自然就有男女的差別、有各個面貌的差別，而雖有這些不同，因為這句名號是萬德萬行的結晶，只要我們專一稱念這句名號，都同樣承受名號的功能，而被牽引到極樂世界去。

也就是說，這句名號本身就能消除我們的業障、增長我們的福德，使我們臨命終時，自然進入極樂世界的涅槃境界。

Namo Amitabha!
