無量壽經連義述文贊 3.66

3.66

The sūtra says: "Hearing the extremely profound Dharma... always able to cultivate and practice." The commentary states: This latter part is the joint cultivation of understanding and practice. Some say: because they can understand the profound, they do not doubt; because they can enter the profound, they do not fear. This is not correct, for entering is also understanding. Here, because they can have faith in the profound teaching, they do not doubt; because they can understand the profound meaning, they do not fear: this is the further cultivation of understanding. "Always cultivating and practicing" is the further cultivation of practice. Hearing it, they inevitably cultivate it without interruption; hence it says "always cultivating."
