Those who practice this samādhi will in this present body see Amitāyus Buddha and the two bodhisattvas." Furthermore, as proved by this sūtra, it is also the external addition of Amitābha Buddha's three powers that causes ordinary people who recollect him to see the Buddha by relying on their own power of the three minds. Sincerity of mind, faith, and the aspiration \[for rebirth\] serve as internal causes, and one also relies on Amitābha's three vow-powers as external conditions; because internal and external causes and conditions come together, one then attains the vision of the Buddha. Therefore it is called the adhipati-pratyaya of the samādhi of seeing the Buddha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959.1.49) - [Next: 1.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959.1.51) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959~en-mt.1.50) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [觀無量壽佛經義疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.248) — Classical Chinese - [佛說觀無量壽佛經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.amitayurdhyana*zh-kalayasas.1.46) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959.1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1959.1.50) · Pramāṇa
