《佛說無量壽經》
(continued)
2. Vows related to the Pure Land – also called vows to pursue the Pure Land. These are the vows made by Dharmakara Bodhisattva, who selected all of the splendors of his Pure Land and to make his Pure Land better than all other Buddhalands. (when he becomes a Buddha.)These are the 31st Vow (Vow to create the Pure Land) and the 32nd Vow (Vow regarding the Adornments of the Pure Land).
3. Vows related to sentient beings – also called vows for benefitting sentient beings. These are the vows about benefitting and delivering sentient beings of the ten directions. These are the remaining 43 vows.
二、攝淨土願，亦名求淨土願：法藏菩薩成佛之後，選擇比諸佛淨土更為殊勝莊嚴之功德，以成就其淨土之誓願。即是第三十一國土清淨願與第三十二國土嚴飾願。
三、攝眾生願，亦名利眾生願：是救度利益十方眾生的誓願。其他四十三願皆是。
Namo Amituofo!
