阿彌陀經通贊疏 3.69

3.69

The Praise states: This is the second [part], the general explanation. 'Good men, good women', and so forth are the persons who are protected. Those who hear of this Amitābha Buddha and hear the names of the Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the six directions are those who are able to be protected and remembered. 'These good men and good women will all be protected and remembered by all Buddhas' means that they obtain correct protection and remembrance. That is to say, men and women who uphold this sūtra and the Buddhas' names, because they hear the Buddhas and Śākyamuni Buddha explain the sūtra on cultivating the Pure Land, are only then able to attain rebirth in the Pure Land; thus this sūtra is what all Buddhas protect, clearly keep in mind, and recollect. As for 'anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi': a means 'un-', nuttara means 'surpassed', sam means 'correct', yak means 'equal', sam means 'correct', and bodhi means 'awakening'—that is, unexcelled, correct, and equal awakening.
