阿彌陀經通贊疏 2.134

2.134

贊曰：第四勸生利益。諸上善人者，善者過現益物謂之善，人即前聲聞、不退及補處等菩薩也，俱在西方一會處也。同師進業必假良緣，朋家作仇事資惡黨，孟母移居於勝處、宣尼不飲於盜泉，蓋恥惡而慕善也。慕善則芳蘭襲慶，朋惡則鮑肆葷風也，勸生西方，親之勝侶也。

The commentary states: The fourth [section is] the benefit of the exhortation to rebirth. Regarding 'superior good persons': 'good' refers to benefiting beings in the past and present; 'persons' refers to the aforementioned śrāvakas, non-retrogressing bodhisattvas, bodhisattvas bound to one birth, and so on. They all assemble together in one place in the west. Advancing in practice under the same teacher necessarily relies on good conditions; joining with companions to create enmity relies on evil factions. Mencius's mother moved her residence to a superior place; Confucius would not drink from the Robber's Spring. This is surely being ashamed of evil and yearning for good. Yearning for good, fragrant orchids convey blessings; consorting with evil, the dried-fish market brings rank odors. Exhorting rebirth in the west is to draw near to superior companions.'
