Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching of the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – the 18th Vow
淨宗傳承之第十八願
To fully understand “even ten times” and “even one thought”, there are three ways to show the absolute deliverance of the Pure Land teaching, which is known as the “Three Embraces / Inclusion”:
1. To embrace those in the present life by explaining rebirth for those near the end-of-life – With respect to life, a person whose life is as short as recitation “even ten times” or “even one thought” has a chance to attain rebirth; not to mention those who believe and aspire to be rebirth, and exclusively recite the Name for the duration of their present life.

以第十八願的「乃至十念」、「乃至一念」,可以三方面來顯示這個法門的絕對救度性,即所謂的「三攝」:
一、以臨終攝平生:以壽命來講,短到「乃至十念」、「乃至一念」,也還有往生的機會;何況平生即信願專稱,念念不捨。
Namo Amituofo!
