念佛鏡 2.34

2.34

Answer: "By buddhānusmṛti and rebirth, one obtains the thirty-two marks, is endowed with the six supernormal powers, has eternal life without death, transcends the three realms, proceeds straight to buddhahood without ever falling back again, has the assembly of bodhisattva-sages as companions, and has Amitābha Buddha preaching the Dharma in person. When the contemplation of non-arising is accomplished, one is born in the Long-Life Heaven, and after eighty thousand great kalpas one still falls back into the evil destinies. In the contemplation of non-arising, not one in ten thousand achieves accomplishment, because it is not appropriate for the times. Even if one achieves it and is born in the Long-Life Heaven, one does not transcend the three realms. Conclusively speaking, it is hundreds of thousands of myriads of times inferior to the pure land."
