A quote from Master Shandao - a text about “paying no attention to the rivers of water and fire” from the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra.
Encouraged by Shakyamuni to proceed on the path towards the West, and hearing the call of Amitabha’s boundless compassion, the practitioner believes and follows the instructions of the two Buddhas. He pays no attention to the rivers of water and fire; but, gives his full attention, without any distractions, to following the Path. He is propelled by the power of Amitabha’s Vow.After death he attains rebirth in the Land of Bliss, and wholeheartedly rejoices upon seeing the Buddha!
善導大師語錄 - 《觀經疏》「不顧水火」之文：
仰蒙釋迦發遣，指向西方；又藉彌陀，悲心招喚。 今信順二尊之意，不顧水火二河，念念無遺，乘彼願力之道。 捨命以後，得生彼國，與佛相見，慶喜何極也。
Namo Amituofo!
