往生淨土決疑行願二門 1.13

1.13

三疑自者，問曰，我是博地凡夫，世緣纏蓋，云何此身生諸淨土、入賢聖海、同正定聚耶？釋曰：若了如上法性虛通，及信彌陀本願攝受，但勤功福，寧俟問津？況十念者得生，唯除五逆及謗正法。又定心十念，逆謗亦生。今幸無此惡而正願志求，夫何惑矣。

Third, regarding doubting oneself: Question: I am an ordinary person of the common ground, bound and veiled by worldly conditions; how can this body be born in the various pure lands, enter the ocean of worthies and sages, and join the stage of right determination? Explanation: If one understands the open pervasiveness of the Dharma-nature as described above, and has faith in the embrace of Amitābha's original vow, one need only diligently practice merit; why wait to ask the way? Moreover, those of ten recitations attain rebirth, with only the five heinous crimes and slandering the true Dharma excluded. Furthermore, with a concentrated mind in ten recitations, even those who commit heinous crimes and slander are born. Now, fortunately lacking these evils and aspiring with right vows, what doubt could there be?
