善導大師語錄
A text about “embrace and transform by the Name in the form of light” cited from In Praise of the Rite of Rebirth:
《往生禮讚》「光號攝化」之文
Amitabha Buddha made a profound, weighty vow to embrace all beings of the ten directions with his light and transform them with his name, in the event that they have faith in Him, aspire to be reborn [in the Land of Bliss] and recite his Name—up to a lifetime’s recitation, as well as just ten recitations, or even one. Because of the power of Amitabha Buddha’s vow, rebirth [in the Pure Land] is easy.
彌陀世尊,本發深重誓願,以光明名號,攝化十方,但使信心求念;上盡一形,下至十聲、一聲等,以佛願力,易得往生。
Namo Amitabha!
