This is the method of rebirth of the highest grade in the Amitābha-sūtra. Furthermore, according to the Guan jing: 'As for the lowest level of the lowest grade, there may be sentient beings who commit unwholesome karma—the five heinous acts and the ten unwholesome deeds—being endowed with all unwholesome things. Because of evil karma, such foolish persons ought to fall into the evil destinies, pass through many eons, and endure boundless suffering. When such a foolish person approaches the end of life, meeting the teaching of a good friend, they recite Amitābha Buddha for ten breaths, their sins are eradicated, and they attain rebirth.' This is the method for the lowest level of the lowest grade in the Guan jing. Furthermore, the Sutra of Immeasurable Life says: 'Even with a single thought-moment, one is immediately reborn in the pure land.' These are all methods for rebirth of the lowest grade." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.29) - [Next: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.31) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966~en-mt.1.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.30) · Pramāṇa
