A quote from Master Shandao’s “Dharma School of Contemplation and Recitation”
善導大師語錄
A passage about “ the mere practice of exclusive Amitabha-recitation for practitioners of the three tiers”
All sentient beings are different in their roots of virtues, and they can be classified into high, medium and low tiers. The Buddha urges all of them to exclusively recite the Name of the Buddha of Infinite Life according to their current roots of virtues. Amitabha Buddha and a multitude of sagely beings will come to receive them, without needing to be invited, when they are close to death. In that way all of them can attain rebirth.
《觀念法門》「三輩唯在專念」之文
佛說一切眾生,根性不同,有上中下; 隨其根性,佛皆勸專念無量壽佛名; 其人命欲終時,佛與聖眾,自來迎接,盡得往生。
Namo Amituofo!
