觀無量壽佛經疏 4.4

4.4

Furthermore, among these three meritorious deeds, there may be a person who practices only the worldly merit and by dedicating it also attains rebirth; or a person who practices only the merit of precepts and by dedicating it also attains rebirth; or a person who practices only the merit of practice and by dedicating it also attains rebirth; or a person who practices the upper two merits and by dedicating them also attains rebirth; or a person who practices the lower two merits and by dedicating them also attains rebirth; or a person who fully practices all three merits and by dedicating them also attains rebirth. Or there may be people who do not practice any of the three merits; these are called people of the ten evils, wrong views, and icchantikas. As for the nine levels, they will be distinguished when coming to the text; this should be known. Now the brief discrimination of the meaning and significance of the distinctions among the three meritorious deeds is concluded.
