Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Benefits in Amitabha-recitation
念佛利益

“The real benefit, or the great benefit” as mentioned in the sutras refers to the benefits of attaining Buddhahood. “The unsurpassed merits and virtues” refer to the merits and virtues of attaining Buddhahood, which can be attained by Amitabha-recitation. Hence, it says, “For acquiring the great benefit, it means having had sufficient unsurpassed merits and virtues”. In other words, “the great benefit” is the “unsurpassed merits and virtues”, and “the great benefit” equals to “the unsurpassed merits and virtues”.

經上所說的「真實之利或大利」，都是在講成佛的利益；「無上功德」是指成佛的功德，念佛就可以得到成佛的功德，所以說「為得大利，則是具足無上功德」，也就是說「大利」就是「無上功德」，「大利」等於「無上功德」。

Namo Amitabha!
