安樂集 1.6

1.6

計今時眾生，即當佛去世後第四五百年，正是懺悔、修福，應稱佛名號時者。若一念稱阿彌陀佛，即能除却八十億劫生死之罪。一念既爾，況修常念，即是恒懺悔人也。

Calculating the sentient beings of the present time, it corresponds precisely to the fourth [or fifth] five-hundred-year period after the Buddha's decease; it is precisely the time for repenting, cultivating merit, and reciting the Buddha's name. If in a single thought-moment one recites Amitābha Buddha, one can eliminate the sins of eighty billion kalpas of saṃsāra. If a single thought-moment is already like this, how much more so the practice of constant mindfulness—this is indeed a person of constant repentance.
