A Verse sharing Compassionate Advice and Cautions - quoted from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ by Master Shandao
善導大師《般舟讚》慈悲勸誡
The teaching of meditative virtues was requested by Queen Vaidehi,
But the teaching of non-meditative virtues was given by Shakyamuni at his own discretion.
One should dedicate the practices of meditative and non-meditative virtues for rebirth in the land of treasure.
They are the alternative expedient means given by the Tathagata.
定善一門韋提請,
散善一行釋迦開;
定散俱迴入寶國,
即是如來異方便。
Namo Amituofo!
