Quotation of Master Shandao 善導大師語錄
A text about “rescue particularly the drowned” in the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra
All Buddhas have great compassion for the suffered, and in their heart take pity in particular on those reincarnated mortal beings. So, they always urge them to return to the Pure Land. It is similar to rescuing people from drowning, priority should be urgently given to those being drowned, not those have already been ashore.
《觀經疏》「溺水偏救」之文:
諸佛大悲於苦者，心偏愍念常沒眾生，是以勸歸淨土。亦如溺水之人，急須偏救；岸上之者，何用濟為。
Namo Amitabha!
