A verse about ‘advising all sentient beings’ from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’
《般舟讚》「普勸有緣」之偈 :
The Buddha advises all those who have a karmic connection with the Pure Land to always recite Amitabha’s Name.
They are the classmates of Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta.
Those who can recite Amitabha’s Name are superior among humankind.
All of them aspire to be reborn within the family of all buddhas.
普勸有緣常念佛,觀音大勢為同學;
若能念佛人中上,願得同生諸佛家。
Namo Amituofo!
