予嘗勸鎮江士人鄒賓王以西方說，且言：「若無閒暇，但早晨合掌向西，念南謨阿彌陀佛十遍亦得。」賓王信之，其夜遂夢與一士人同赴法正，恐懼間遂念阿彌陀佛，至十聲乃覺。豈非佛以此堅其信心乎？

I once exhorted the scholar Zou Binwang of Zhenjiang with the teaching of the West, and said: "If you have no leisure, merely join your palms facing west each morning and recite 'Namo Amitābha Buddha' ten times, and that will also suffice." Binwang believed it. That night he dreamed that he and another scholar went together before an official court of law. In his terror, he then recited Amitābha Buddha, and upon reaching ten recitations he awoke. Was this not the Buddha strengthening his faith by this means?
