《淨行法門》曰「凡修淨土行者，須善發心。若為自己厭五濁忻九品，則違菩提心，是聲聞行，不應發也。若為眾生起大悲心，求往彼國，希速成就道力神通，遍歷十方救度一切，令共成佛道者，則順菩提心，是菩薩行，應當發也。」

> The Pure Practice Teaching states: "All who cultivate pure land practice must arouse their minds skillfully. If, for oneself, one abhors the five defilements and delights in the nine grades, this contravenes bodhicitta; it is a śrāvaka practice and should not be aroused. If, for the sake of sentient beings, one gives rise to great compassion, seeks rebirth in that land, hopes quickly to achieve spiritual power and the power of the Way, traverses the ten directions, saves and delivers all, and causes them to accomplish the Buddha Way together, this accords with bodhicitta; it is a bodhisattva practice and must be aroused."
