2.40

Question: If one originally resolved to vow for rebirth in the Pure Land, the mind becomes of the highest grade and the precepts become a superior cause, which could indeed bring about such a prolonged and extended lifespan. But if one originally resolved to be born in heaven when receiving the precepts, and only when nearing the end of one's life vows to be born in the Western realm, using the unmanifest merit of the precepts previously received to bring about the retribution of the Pure Land, how can one still bring about a lifespan of an asaṃkhyeya [of kalpas]?
