答：「有三義：一者、若臨終時正念現前者，此心能引無始以來，及一生所作善業，共相資助，即得往生也；二者、諸佛名號，總萬德成，但能一念念佛名者，即一念之中總念萬德，則滅罪業，惡業礙往，除罪何繫？故下品生中云：『稱佛名故，於念念中除八十億劫生死之罪。』三者、無始惡業，從妄心生；念佛功德，從真心起。真心如日，妄心如闇。真心暫起，妄念即除；如日始出，眾暗悉除。由此三義，乃至臨命終時十念成就者，定得往生。」

> Answer: 'There are three meanings: First, if right mindfulness appears at the end of life, this mind can lead the good karma performed since beginningless time and in this single lifetime to support one another, and one will attain rebirth. Second, the names of the buddhas are formed by gathering myriad virtues; if one can be mindful of the Buddha’s name in a single thought, in that single thought one collectively contemplates myriad virtues, and thus sinful karma is extinguished. If evil karma obstructed rebirth, how could one be bound once sin is removed? Therefore, in the lowest grade of rebirth it says: "Because of reciting the Buddha’s name, in thought after thought the sins of eighty billion kalpas of birth and death are removed." Third, beginningless evil karma arises from the deluded mind, while the merit of mindfulness of the Buddha arises from the true mind. The true mind is like the sun; the deluded mind is like darkness. When the true mind briefly arises, deluded thoughts are immediately removed, just as when the sun first rises, all darkness is completely removed. By these three meanings, if one accomplishes even ten recitations at the end of life, one will definitely attain rebirth.'
