廬山蓮宗寶鑑 9.6

9.6

《大彌陀經》云「諸念佛人生淨土已，即入七寶池中澡雪形體、蕩滌情慮，各座一華上，自然微風吹動諸寶行樹，出微妙音、散諸寶華、異香芬馥皆作佛事。聞者喜悅無量，自然心開，各往修進。有在地講經者、有在地誦經者、有在地說經者、有在地口授經者、有在地聽經者、有在地念經者、有在地思道者、有在地坐禪一心者、有在地經行者；有在虛空中講經者、有在虛空中誦經者、有在虛空中說經者、有在虛空中口授經者、有在虛空中聽經者、有在虛空中念經者、有在虛空中思道者、有在虛空中坐禪一心者、有在虛空中經行者。其間聲聞弟子皆發大心，有未得聖果者因是而得聖果，有未得不退轉地者因是而得不退轉地。菩薩各隨其資而有所得，莫不忻然適意而悅，遊戲三昧利樂有情。」由念佛之堅心、稱彌陀之本願，往生佛子同列此班，智慧辯才神通如意，風帆勢順速證菩提，超萬劫之輪迴、得諸天之仰重。淨業勝善大果昭然，寄語同流無忘此事。蝡動蜎飛猶有分，大丈夫兒當勉旃。

The Da Amituo jing states: 'After all persons who practice buddhānusmṛti are born in the Pure Land, they immediately enter the pond of seven jewels to wash their bodies and cleanse away emotional thoughts. Each sits upon a single flower. Naturally, a gentle breeze stirs the jeweled rows of trees, producing subtle, wonderful sounds, scattering jeweled flowers, and wafting extraordinary fragrances—all performing Buddha-work. Those who hear it experience immeasurable joy; their minds naturally open, and each goes forward to cultivate and advance. There are those on the ground expounding the sūtras, chanting the sūtras, speaking the sūtras, teaching the sūtras by mouth, listening to the sūtras, reciting the sūtras, contemplating the Path, sitting single-mindedly in dhyāna, or walking in meditation; there are those in the sky expounding the sūtras, chanting the sūtras, speaking the sūtras, teaching the sūtras by mouth, listening to the sūtras, reciting the sūtras, contemplating the Path, sitting single-mindedly in dhyāna, or walking in meditation. Among them, the śrāvaka disciples all arouse the great mind: those who have not attained the noble fruit attain the noble fruit on account of this, and those who have not attained the stage of non-retrogression attain the stage of non-retrogression on account of this. The bodhisattvas each make attainments according to their capacities; there is none who is not joyful, content, and pleased, sporting in samādhi and benefiting sentient beings.' Due to the resolute mind of buddhānusmṛti and in accord with Amitābha's original vow, the reborn Buddha-children join this rank together, their wisdom, eloquence, and supernatural powers as they wish. With favorable wind filling their sails, they swiftly realize bodhi, transcending the saṃsāra of myriad kalpas and winning the reverent esteem of the devas. The superior goodness and great fruit of pure karma are clear and evident; I send word to my fellows not to forget this matter. Even wriggling worms and fluttering insects have their share; great men should exert themselves!
