A verse about ‘If a person has no virtuous roots”, quoted from “In Praise of the Rite of Rebirth” by Master Shandao
善導大師《往生禮讚》「若人無善本」之偈:
If a person has no virtuous roots,
She cannot hear the Buddha’s Name.
For those who are arrogant and lazy [and do not practice name-recitation],
It Is difficult to believe this [Pure Land] teaching.
若人無善本,不得聞佛名;
憍慢弊懈怠,難以信此法。
Namo Amituofo!
