龍舒增廣淨土文 6.34

6.34

為工匠者當自念云：我為工匠，或為人造屋宇、或為人作器用，此雖為善業，然以前世不曾修種，故今生自不富足，所造之屋乃他人居、所作之器乃他人用。若不如是，衣食虧闕。當隨分為善，為人造作之時，物不過望、事則盡心，此亦種福。常念阿彌陀佛，用斧斤時亦一心常念，使念念不絕，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 artisans should reflect to themselves thus: 'I am an artisan; I build houses for others, or fashion utensils for others. Although this is wholesome karma, because I did not cultivate and plant seeds in past lives, I am naturally not wealthy in this life: the houses built are for others to inhabit, and the utensils fashioned are for others to use. If I do not do this, food and clothing will be deficient. One should do good according to one's lot; when fashioning things for others, do not expect too much for materials, and be thoroughly devoted in the work; this too plants blessings. Constantly recollect Amitābha Buddha; even while wielding the axe, constantly recollect with single-minded focus. Let thought after thought be uninterrupted; 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.
