龍舒增廣淨土文 4.8

4.8

Perform each recitation as before, but when recollecting the Buddha, visualize with the mind that one's body is in the Pure Land, with palms joined before the Buddha, reverently recollecting the Buddha. When recollecting the Bodhisattvas, do likewise. When recollecting all the bodhisattvas, śrāvakas, and all superior good people, visualize with the mind that one's body is in the Pure Land, and that the sound of one's recitation pervades all the bodhisattvas. When bowing before the śrāvakas and all superior good people, also visualize being in the Pure Land. When bowing and reciting the verses, also visualize being in the Pure Land, with palms joined before the Buddha, reverently reciting the verses. Only when an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva is present is this not necessary. Even so, one must visualize the image as if the Buddha and Bodhisattvas are manifesting their bodies here, receiving my prostrations and hearing my recitations. With such single-minded devotion, the grade of rebirth will surely be high.
