2.23

Answer: It is because sentient beings' obstacles are heavy, the object is subtle while the mind is coarse, and consciousness flutters and the spirit flits about, so contemplation is difficult to accomplish. For this reason, the Great Sage took pity and directly encouraged exclusively reciting the name. Precisely because reciting the name is easy, continuity leads immediately to rebirth. Question: Since one is directed to exclusively recite [the name of] one Buddha, why is it that when the object appears, there are many? Could this not be a confusion of the heterodox and the orthodox, a mixed appearance of one and many?
