A verse explaining why ‘Amitabha-recitation is the noblest’ from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ By Master Shandao
善導大師《般舟讚》「念佛最尊」之偈:
Even if a myriad of virtues are dedicated for rebirth,
The virtues of Amitabha-recitation are the foremost.
The power from assorted virtues is probably too weak to dedicate.
It cannot surpass reciting Amitabha’s Name for one to seven days.
萬行俱迴皆得往,念佛一行最為尊;
迴生雜善恐力弱,無過一日七日念。
Namo Amituofo!
