遊心安樂道 1.87

1.87

問：「如《彌勒所問經》說十念中云：『非凡夫念，不雜結使念。』今此眾生體是凡夫，結使不斷，云何念佛而得生耶？」

Question: 'The Sutra of the Questions of Maitreya, in speaking of the ten recitations, says: "It is not the mindfulness of an ordinary being; it is mindfulness unmixed with defilements." Now, these sentient beings are ordinary beings in substance, and their defilements are not severed. How can they attain rebirth by mindfulness of the Buddha?'
