觀無量壽佛經義疏 3.167

3.167

「『行者命欲終時，阿彌陀佛及觀世音、大勢至，與諸菩薩持金蓮華，化作五百佛來迎此人。五百化佛一時授手，讚言：「法子！汝今清淨發無上道心，我來迎汝。」』」金蓮花，亦即臺座。讚言清淨者，既發大心，必離諸惡故。三、得生。

"‘When the practitioner's life is about to end, Amitāyus, along with Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta, and the assembly of bodhisattvas, holding a golden lotus flower, manifest five hundred Buddhas to come and welcome this person. The five hundred manifested Buddhas extend their hands simultaneously and praise him, saying: "Son of the Dharma! You are now pure, having generated the mind for the unsurpassed path; I have come to welcome you."'" The golden lotus flower is also the platform seat. The praise saying "pure" is because having generated the great mind, one must be free from all evils. Third, attaining birth.
