An excerpt from the Chapter on the Meaning of the Non-meditative Virtues in the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra
善導大師語錄
《觀經疏》〈散善義〉:
‘Seven days’ (as said in the Amitabha Sutra) may refer to time in this world, not seven days in that land (the Land of Bliss). Seven days lapsed in this world is a short while, like a flash of time in one thought. We certainly ought to know this.
言「七日」者,恐此間七日,不指彼國七日也。 此間逕於七日者,彼處即是一念須臾間也。應知。
Namo Amituofo!
