An excerpt from the Epilogue of the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra

善導大師語錄

《觀經疏》:

I hope all beings who hear [the Dharma] can believe, and all sentient beings who read [the Dharma] can aspire to be reborn in the West.

The Commentary [on the Contemplation Sutra] is already certified by the Buddhas to be ultimate and definitive; thus, one should not add to it or delete from it by one sentence, or even one word. Those who make copies of it should accept it as a sutra.

One ought to be aware.

願使:含靈聞之生信,有識睹者西歸。

此義已請證定竟,一句一字,不可加減,欲寫者一如經法。應知。

Namo Amituofo!
