釋淨土群疑論 7.56

Question: It is known that those who cultivate this samādhi must all adorn the place of practice, install the revered image, bathe purely, put on fresh, clean clothes, eat only one meal a day, disregard bodily life, and focus their minds on buddhānusmṛti; this principle is acceptable. But for what reason do they dwell in darkness, block all cracks that admit light, and recite with loud, strained voices? What teaching is this? Seeing this, all students give rise to doubt and wonder. Please explain what teaching there is for this method.
