贊曰。斷絕世想則染緣盡。專念西方則淨緣成。先民有言。愛不重不生娑婆。念不一不生淨土誠哉言乎。

The appraisal says: When worldly thoughts are severed, defiled conditions come to an end; when one focuses exclusively on the Western Direction, pure conditions are fulfilled. The ancients had a saying: 'Without heavy affection, one is not born in the Sahā world; without unified mindfulness, one is not born in the Pure Land.' Truly these words are real!
