一、疑師者，師有二種：一邪外等師，倒惑化人，非所承也。二正法之師，復有凡聖因果。凡及因位容有未了，猶清辯謂「今彌勒未是遍知，俟龍華道後方復問津。」即其事也。今顯示西方令迴向者，唯果佛聖師釋迦如來，及十方諸佛出廣長舌，說誠實言讚勸往生。更何所惑？

First, regarding doubting the master: masters are of two kinds. First are false masters and non-Buddhists who delude and confuse people; they are not to be followed. Second are masters of the true Dharma, who are further categorized into ordinary and sage, cause and effect. In the ordinary and causal stages there may still be things not fully understood, just as Bhāviveka said, 'Maitreya at present is not yet omniscient; I will wait until he attains the path under the dragon-flower tree before asking the way.' This is an instance of it. Now, the one who reveals the West and enjoins us to dedicate our merits toward it is solely the fruit-stage Buddha and sage master, Śākyamuni Tathāgata, as well as the buddhas of the ten directions who extend their broad and long tongues to speak sincere words praising and encouraging rebirth. What further doubt could there be?
