阿彌陀經疏 1.27

1.27

From "just as I now praise" downward is the third major division, citing examples to verify and confirm. Within this there are four: first, citing what other Buddhas have spoken to verify that it is trustworthy; second, explaining the title of this sūtra to establish that it has superior benefits; third, adducing that vows are not contradicted to re-encourage generating the aspiration; fourth, praising the rarity of the Dharma and concluding by encouraging faith and acceptance. In the first part, it first distinguishes his own praise, and then cites the Buddhas of the six directions praising in unison. From "What do you think?" downward is the second text, in which there are three questions followed sequentially by three exhortations to faith. From "If there are people who make vows" downward is the third text, first showing the power of vows, and then encouraging the making of vows. From "Just as I now" downward is the fourth text, in which there are three parts: first, oneself praising others; next, others praising oneself; and third, a concluding praise encouraging faith.
