淨土五會念佛略法事儀讚 1.21

1.21

凡在修道，可不慎毀、可不敬欺。又《觀佛三昧海經》云：此觀佛三昧，是破戒者護、失道者依，煩惱賊中大勇猛將，首楞嚴王百千三昧所出生處，亦名諸三昧母，亦名諸三昧王，亦名諸佛共所印可定，亦名如來禪，非二乘外道等禪。信可知矣。此五會念佛聲勢，點大盡長者即是緩念，點小漸短者即是漸急念，須會此意。

All who cultivate the path, how could you not be cautious of defamation, how could you not revere [the Dharma without] deceit? Furthermore, the Guanfo sanmei hai jing says: 'This samādhi of contemplating the Buddha is the protection for those who break the precepts, the reliance for those who lose the path, the great valiant general amidst the bandits of affliction, the place from which the hundred thousand samādhis of the Śūraṅgama king are produced; it is also called the mother of all samādhis, also called the king of all samādhis, also called the absorption mutually sealed and approved by all Buddhas, also called the Tathāgata dhyāna, not the dhyāna of the two vehicles or externalists.' Truly, this may be known. In the vocal dynamics of this five-tone buddha-mindfulness, where the marks are large and prolonged, it is slow recitation; where the marks are small and gradually shortened, it is gradually quickened recitation. One must understand this meaning.
