2.53

Answer: "It is indeed like beating a drum with the mouth. Why? Because it is through recitation by the mouth and recollection in the mind that beating the drum succeeds; without mind and mouth, there would be no means for it to succeed. Buddhānusmṛti is also like this: with faith in the mind and recitation by the mouth, one is born in the pure land and quickly realizes unexcelled bodhi; without mind and mouth, there would be no means to attain rebirth. Therefore, it is like beating a drum with the mouth."
