佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 1.105

1.105

述曰：第五、略顯勝生。文中有其三意：一者得清淨身、二生諸佛國、三生忉利天，聞此陀羅尼力得此勝處生。《大智度論》云：「求生天者，要須修三種福。云何三種福？一者禮拜，二者聽法，三者供養眾僧。」又云：「布施、持戒、忍辱，行此三種事即得生天。若不能修善三事，但聞陀羅尼，即得生天及諸淨土。」

Commentary: Fifth, briefly showing superior rebirth. In the text there are three points: first, obtaining a purified body; second, being born in the various Buddha-lands; third, being born in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. Through the power of hearing this dhāraṇī, one attains rebirth in these superior places. The Dàzhìdù lùn states: 'Those who seek rebirth in heaven must cultivate three kinds of merit. What are the three kinds of merit? The first is prostrating in worship; the second is listening to the Dharma; the third is making offerings to the Saṅgha.' It also states: 'Giving, maintaining morality, and patience—by practicing these three things, one is immediately born in heaven. If one cannot cultivate these three wholesome matters, merely hearing the dhāraṇī will immediately cause one to be born in heaven and the various pure lands.'
