The teachings of the three Pure Land sutras are not different from each other; they are the same and in consistence—all talking about the teaching of deliverance, not the teaching of cultivation. The target of deliverance is each of us present here, and each of sentient beings with deep and heavy afflictions.
If the afflicted sentient beings with heavy karmic offenses do not rely on Amitabha’s vows of deliverance, they cannot escape from reincarnations of the Three Domains and the Six Realms, not to mention achieve Buddhahood and deliver sentient beings!
The three Pure Land sutras are words of Shakyamuni Buddha. The passing-on of the Pure Land teachings and its elaborations were accomplished by the patriarchs.

淨土三部經的教理，並不是各別不同，而是相同的、一致的，都是在講救度的法門，不是在講修行的法門。救度的對象就是我們現前每一位凡夫，每一位煩惱深重的眾生。
罪業深重的煩惱凡夫，如果不依靠彌陀願力的救度，就不能出三界六道輪迴，更何況成佛度眾生呢！
淨土三部經是釋迦牟尼佛所說的，淨土宗義理的傳承、發揮，是由祖師完成的。
