阿彌陀經疏 1.8

1.8

The Sūtra on Amitābha Spoken by the Buddha is precisely what is meant by such specific praise. I cherish its concise phrasing and lucid principle, its economical text and complete coverage of matters, sufficient to guide the weak and lost and to strike through the blindness of the uninstructed. Thereupon, taking Nāgārjuna's lineage as the guideline and modeling upon Zhizhe's explanations, I rely on the sūtra to discern the principle and have made this expository commentary. As for probing the deepest subtleties and investigating the minutiae, how could I presume? I merely hope it may assist the true tradition and benefit future generations.
