阿彌陀經要解 1.129

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.129](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1762.1.129)

問：「無量壽佛即是極樂世界阿彌陀佛否？」答：「即是亦可，不是亦可。即是亦可者，佛無我相，為度眾生不妨自讚，如釋迦亦自讚故。不是亦可者，十方同名諸佛無量，非止一佛名為無量壽故。」

> Question: "Is Amitāyus Buddha the Amitābha Buddha of the Sukhāvatī world realm?" Answer: "It may be so, or it may not be so. As for 'it may be so': buddhas have no mark of self, and for the sake of delivering sentient beings there is no harm in praising oneself, just as Śākyamuni also praised himself. As for 'it may not be so': throughout the ten directions, there are immeasurable buddhas with identical names; it is not only one buddha who is named Amitāyus."
