慧淨上人法語
本願稱名
A person who recites [Amitabha’s name] continually till the end of his life is assured of rebirth with a rate of ten out of ten, a hundred out of a hundred, and a thousand out of a thousand. If a person gives up such a splendid, yet easy teaching, Master Shandao would worry for him and exclaims, “His chance of rebirth is less than one to two out of a hundred, or three to five out of a thousand.”
In other words, if we follow the Fundamental Vow to recite Amitabha’s name, we will certainly be reborn; if we don’t, rebirth is uncertain.

一個念念相續，畢命為期的人，可說是十即十生，百即百生，千即千生。如果捨去了這麼簡易又殊勝的法門，善導大師就非常為他擔憂而且感嘆的說：「百中難得一二，千中難得三五」。
也就是說，依本願之稱名決定往生，不依本願之稱名，就不一定決定往生了。

Namo Amitabha!
