問意甚親，答猶通漫。且隨意往生之語，並歸諸佛會裡之言，既不能專修佛國之行，何緣託識他方？余愛楊無為頌，曰「淨土周沙界，云何獨指西？但能從一入，觸處是菩提。」此則通示而不妨別修。世人可不慕西方一其志而修之乎？

The question was very intimate, but the answer was still broad and noncommittal. Furthermore, as for words such as 'rebirth at will' and 'jointly returning into the assemblies of all the Buddhas,' if one is unable to exclusively cultivate the practices for the Buddha-land, on what basis could one lodge consciousness in another realm? I cherish Yang Wuwei's eulogy, which says: 'The pure lands pervade worlds numerous as sands; / Why point exclusively to the West? / If only one can enter from one [gate], / Every place encountered is bodhi.' This is an all-encompassing demonstration that does not obstruct particular cultivation. How could worldly people not admire the West, unify their aspiration, and cultivate it?
