7.22

Question: The Guan jing says: 'One reborn in the lowest class of the lowest grade, with ten vocal recitations of the Buddha's name, in every thought-moment extinguishes the sins of eighty koṭis of kalpas of birth and death.' Since the sins are already extinguished and eradicated, why is it that after the flower opens, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva explains the true nature of phenomena and the method of eradicating sins for them? If there are still sins that can be eradicated, why did they not obstruct rebirth in the pure land so that one was still able to achieve rebirth in the Pure Land?
