念佛三昧寶王論 1.38

1.38

問曰：「若擇善而從者，何不擇諸佛之善，棄眾生之惡，乃念未來諸佛，而同過、現正覺耶？」

The question asks: 'If one chooses the good and follows it, why not choose the good of the buddhas and discard the evil of sentient beings, instead of being mindful of future buddhas and equating them with the past and present fully enlightened ones?'
