阿彌陀經疏 1.10

1.10

From "At that time, the Buddha addressed..." onward is the second part, the main teaching division. Within this there are three [sections]: first, directly showing the two kinds of pure fruit; second, encouraging the cultivation of the two kinds of correct causes; and third, citing examples to verify and establish [them]. The first contains two parts: brief indication and extensive explanation. The middle two sentences first indicate the circumstantial fruit and then indicate the direct retribution. In the explanation there are also two: first explaining the circumstantial fruit, and then explaining the direct retribution.
