A verse about ‘advising sentient beings universally’ quoted from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’
《般舟讚》「普勸有緣」之偈
The Buddha advises all of those who have a karmic connection with the Pure Land teaching 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.
As they 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!
