觀無量壽佛經疏 3.75

3.75

First, from "The Buddha told Ānanda" down to "the Dharma for eliminating suffering and distress," it directly explains instructing them to listen and promising to speak. There are three points: first, it explains addressing the two persons; second, it explains instructing them to listen, ordering them to receive it attentively and practice with right mindfulness; third, it explains that the Buddha expounds the method of the lotus throne contemplation for them, and if only they can settle their minds and focus their thoughts, their sinful suffering will be eliminated.
