8.21

予於夢寐中有恐懼時，念阿彌陀佛與觀世音菩薩，未嘗不即安穩，或即覺惺。足以見佛與菩薩，威神之速如此。但辨信心，效無不應。

Whenever I have had fearful moments in my dreams, upon reciting Amitābha Buddha and Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, I have never failed immediately to become tranquil and secure, or immediately to awaken. This is sufficient to show that the awe-inspiring spiritual power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is as swift as this. If one only musters faith, there is no response that does not take effect.
