十、從是故智者下,至現前授記已來,重明結勸修觀利益。即有其五。一明簡出能修觀人。二明專心諦觀無量壽佛。三明相好眾多不得總雜而觀,唯觀白毫一相,但得見白毫者,一切眾相自然而現也。四明既見彌陀即見十方佛也。五明既見諸佛即於定中得蒙授記也。

Tenth, from "Therefore, the wise" down to "presently receiving prediction," it re-explains, concludes, and encourages the benefits of cultivating contemplation. There are five points: first, it explains selecting those capable of cultivating contemplation; second, it explains focusing the mind to carefully contemplate Amitāyus Buddha; third, it explains that since the major and minor marks are numerous, one must not contemplate them in a mixed and general way, but contemplate solely the single mark of the white curl, and if one can only see the white curl, all the various marks will naturally appear; fourth, it explains that having seen Amitābha, one immediately sees the buddhas of the ten directions; fifth, it explains that having seen all buddhas, one presently receives a prediction within concentration.
