阿彌陀經通贊疏 3.97

3.97

The commentary says: Below, in the sixth section, our Buddha narrates and specifically proclaims this difficult task. The text is divided into four: first, narrating that the practice is difficult to cultivate; second, narrating that the fruit is difficult to realize; third, narrating that the Dharma is difficult to believe; fourth, concluding generally that it is extremely difficult. This is the first. 'Accomplishing this difficult task' refers to fully cultivating the myriad practices over three asaṃkhyeya kalpas, giving up body and life to die for bodhi, and renouncing kingdoms and cities for the multitude, only then achieving correct enlightenment—how could this not be a difficult task!
