無量壽經連義述文贊 2.2

2.2

The sūtra says: "Manifesting the intention toward the Path and immeasurable merit." The commentary states: Second, presenting the teaching of entering the Path. There are two parts: this initial part is the teaching on cultivating causes. It manifests the intention of bodhisattvas generating the bodhicitta to cause [beings] to generate the resolve, expounding immeasurable merits so that they cultivate practice.
