A verse concerning ‘the Name as a sharp sword’ from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’
《般舟讚》「利劍名號」之偈:
The Name of Amitabha is a sharp sword.
All karmic offenses can be eradicated by one recitation [of Amitabha’s Name].
Those who slander the Dharma have no roots of virtues and commit the Ten Unwholesome Deeds,
All of those karmic offenses can be cleared if they redirect their minds to reciting Amitabha’s Name.
利劍即是彌陀號,一聲稱念罪皆除。
謗法闡提行十惡,迴心念佛罪皆除。
Namo Amituofo!
