龍舒增廣淨土文 6.32

6.32

為商賈者當自念云：平生販賣寧無欺偽？若是疋帛，皆由蠶命而得，不可謂全無過惡。一旦命盡，隨業緣去。不如懺悔為善，隨分營生，命若多財自然漸有、命若少財多得亦失。況人生財數有限，急求而數滿則致早終，緩求而來遲則可延壽，宜以此存心。當念阿彌陀佛，願見佛得道之後，先度一切與己交涉眾生，次度一切冤親，次度一切有緣無緣眾生。如此念念不絕，念自純熟，定生極樂世界。若轉以化人，使更相勸化，現世獲福，身後必中上品生。

Those who are merchants should reflect to themselves thus: 'In my lifetime of buying and selling, how could there be no deceit and falsehood? If it is bolts of cloth and silk, they are all obtained from the lives of silkworms, so it cannot be said to be entirely without fault and evil. Once life ends, one goes according to karmic conditions. It is better to repent and do good, conducting business according to one's lot. If one's destiny holds much wealth, it will naturally arrive gradually; if one's destiny holds little wealth, even gaining much will be lost. Moreover, the quota of wealth in a person's life is limited: if sought eagerly and the quota is filled, it will bring about an early end; if sought gently and it comes slowly, it can prolong one's life. One should harbor this intention in one's mind. One should recollect Amitābha Buddha and vow that after seeing the Buddha and attaining the Way, one will first deliver all sentient beings with whom one has had dealings, next deliver all enemies and kin, and next deliver all sentient beings with whom one has or has not conditions. In this way, thought after thought without interruption, when thoughts naturally become pure and ripe, one will definitely be born in Sukhāvatī.' If one turns around to transform others, causing them to exhort and transform one another in turn, one will obtain blessings in this present life, and after death will certainly be born in the middle and highest grades.
