念佛鏡 2.2

2.2

問：「諸有疑惑，請乞除斷。故《般若》云：『若以色見我，以音聲求我，是人行邪道，不能見如來。』者，何以故，念阿彌陀佛往生淨土，得見如來？」

Question: "Regarding all doubts that exist, please resolve and sever them. As the Prajñā[-pāramitā-sūtra] says: 'If one sees me by form or seeks me by sound, this person walks a heterodox path and cannot see the Tathāgata'—why is it that by mindfulness of Amitābha Buddha and rebirth in the pure land, one is able to see the Tathāgata?"
