2.7

The Commentary says: This is the fourth, clarifying the teaching master, and the fifth, discerning the exposition of the Dharma. "Amitābha" has already been explained above, and later in the sūtra itself there is also a place where it explains it. "At present" excludes the past and future. "Expounding" means delivering, and "Dharma" refers to the method of holding fast to the name, which is the teaching Dharma. Amitābha Buddha constantly expounds the wondrous Dharma for sentient beings, progressively making them vigorous; thus his great kindness and compassion are vast and his benefiting of beings is profoundly great, manifesting the reward body of the first ground and transforming limitless capacities; hence it is said, "who is at present expounding the Dharma."
