集諸經禮懺儀 2.30

2.30

又釋迦佛及十方佛，讚歎彌陀光明有十二種名，普勸眾生稱名禮拜相續不斷者，現世得無量功德，命終之後定得往生。如《無量壽經》說云：其有眾生遇斯光者，三垢消滅、身意柔軟，歡喜踊躍善心生焉。若在三塗勤苦之處，見此光明無復苦惱，壽終之後皆蒙解脫。無量壽佛光明顯赫，照曜十方諸佛國土，莫不聞焉。不但我今稱其光明，一切諸佛聲聞緣覺諸菩薩眾咸共歎譽，亦復如是。若有眾生聞其光明威神功德，日夜稱說至心不斷者，隨其所願得生其國，常為諸菩薩聲聞之眾所共歎譽稱其功德。佛言：「我說無量壽佛光明威神巍巍殊妙，晝夜一劫尚不能盡。」

Furthermore, Śākyamuni Buddha and the Buddhas of the ten directions praise the light of Amitābha with twelve names, universally encouraging sentient beings who recite the name and make prostrations continuously without interruption to obtain immeasurable merit in the present life, and definitely attain rebirth after the end of life. As the Sūtra of Immeasurable Life says: If there are sentient beings who encounter this light, the three stains are eliminated, body and mind become gentle and pliant, and they leap with joy as good minds arise. If they are in the places of toil and suffering in the three wretched realms, seeing this light they will have no further distress or afflictions, and after their lives end, all will attain liberation. The light of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life is radiant and brilliant, illuminating the Buddha-lands of the ten directions, and there are none who do not hear of it. Not only do I now praise his light, but all Buddhas, śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and hosts of Bodhisattvas all praise and extol it in the same manner. If there are sentient beings who hear of the majestic divine power and merit of his light, and day and night recite and speak of it continuously with utmost sincerity, according to their aspiration they will attain rebirth in that land, and will constantly be praised and extolled for their merits by all the hosts of Bodhisattvas and śrāvakas. The Buddha said: 'Even if I were to describe the majestic divine power, towering sublimity, and wonder of the light of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life day and night for an entire kalpa, I could not exhaust it.'
