We have owed huge amount of debts to sentient beings in the ten directions since our many past lives. It is all over the universe. How can we pay back the debts in order to leave the Saha World? It will be fine by just exclusively reciting Amitabha’s name, because this single Amitabha’s name carries inconceivable, boundless and immeasurable merits and virtues, which allow us to pay off all our debts.
The Contemplation Sutra says, “He who recites Amitabha's Name, at each recitation, can extinguish his evil karma accumulated for eighty kotis of kalpas of Samsara.” Master Shandao says, “Persons without root of virtues, who have slandered the correct teaching and committed Evil Actions, can clear their karmic offenses if they change their mind and practice Amitabha-recitation for rebirth.”

我們生生世世以來欠十方眾生的債非常多，遍滿宇宙，我們要離開娑婆世界這些債要如何償還呢？只要專稱彌陀名號就好，因為這一句彌陀名號具足無量無邊不可思議的功德，是足以讓我們償還一切業債的。《觀經》說：「稱南無阿彌陀佛，於念念中，除八十億劫生死之罪。」善導大師也說：「謗法闡提行十惡，迴心念佛罪皆除。」
Namo Amitabha!
