阿彌陀經疏 1.67

1.67

From "Śāriputra" onward, second, specific demonstration. This also has two parts: first, revealing through the negative; second, demonstrating directly. In the first text, [saying] that one cannot obtain rebirth through minor good roots negatively reveals that one can obtain rebirth through abundant good roots. Minor good roots refers to making vows casually and reciting the name with a scattered mind; abundant good roots refers to upholding the name firmly with a determined time limit.
