The appreciation says: The Contemplation Sūtra sets forth the correct causes for pure karma, placing filial support of one's parents first. Thus we know that if an unfilial person engages in buddhamanasikāra all day long, the Buddha will not be pleased with him. Now, Yimin in his youth fully carried out filial support, and furthermore deeply entered samādhi, repeatedly eliciting auspicious signs; from this one can tell that his grade of rebirth was high indeed. For laypeople cultivating pure karma, he serves as an exemplary model for ten thousand generations.
