7.24

Question: Why is it that in the upper fascicle of the Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra, the forty-eight great vows say, 'even down to ten recitations, all will obtain rebirth, excluding only those who commit the five heinous crimes,' whereas the lower fascicle of the Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra says, 'even down to a single recitation, all will obtain rebirth'? Why is it that within the very same teaching, the earlier and later texts show a discrepancy, with one speaking of one and the other speaking of ten?
