集諸經禮懺儀 2.22

2.22

又如《文殊波若》云：欲明一行三昧，唯勸獨處空閑捨諸亂意，係心一佛，不觀相貌，專稱名字，即於念中得見彼阿彌陀佛及一切佛等。問曰：何故不令作觀，直遣專稱名字者，有何意也？

Furthermore, as the Mañjuśrī-prajñā says: To clarify the samādhi of one practice, it only encourages staying alone in a secluded and quiet place, abandoning all distracting thoughts, fixing the mind upon one Buddha, not contemplating physical marks, and exclusively reciting the name; then in the midst of mindfulness, one will behold that Amitābha Buddha and all Buddhas. Question: Why does it not instruct one to practice contemplation, but directly directs one to exclusively recite the name? What is the meaning of this?
