A quote “urging all sentient beings” from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ by Master Shandao
善導大師《般舟讚》「普勸眾生」之偈:

Let me advise all sentient beings to take care of their threefold karma,
Recite Amitabha’s Name while walking, standing, sitting and lying down.
Never forgetting the possibility of suffering in hells,
Setting forth the augmentative mind of aspiration for rebirth
Vowing not to commit the karma that leads us to the Three Wretched Realms.
And not becoming attached to the karmic rewards of human and celestial joys.

普勸眾生護三業,行住坐臥念彌陀;
一切時中憶地獄,發起增上往生心;
誓願不作三塗業,人天樂報亦無心。

Namo Amituofo!
