5.71

Your presentation has been respectfully received and fully noted. I have heard that in the country of Peaceful Nurture, the Pure Land of Amitābha, the myriad transformations are about to cease and a single thought remains indelibly clear; to entrust oneself to that holy womb is easier than turning over one's hand. Whether faith is reached or not, both are tathatā; I tread the wide avenue, clear and plain. Master, you guide the fourfold assembly and regulate the One Vehicle; you encourage me with the cause of the white moon and aid me with the fruit of the blue lotus. As a virtuous friend of humans and devas, who could it be if not you, Master? My feelings of shame and acknowledgment dwell in my heart morning and evening. Therefore I grant this commendation, which I trust you will understand; this brief letter does not express everything.
