淨土五會念佛誦經觀行儀卷中．下 2.10

2.10

又舍利弗。極樂國土。眾生生者。皆是阿鞞跋致。其中多有一生補處。其數甚多。非是算數所能知之。但可以無量無邊阿僧祇劫說。舍利弗。眾生聞者。應當發願願生彼國。所以者何。得與如是諸上善人。俱會一處。舍利弗。不可以少善根福德因緣。得生彼國。舍利弗。若有善男子善女人。聞說阿彌陀佛。執持名號。若一日。若二日。若三日。若四日。若五日。若六日。若七日。一心不亂。其人臨命終時。阿彌陀佛。與諸聖眾。現在其前。是人終時。心不顛倒。即得往生阿彌陀佛極樂國土。舍利弗。我見是利故說此言。若有眾生。聞是說者。應當發願生彼國土。

"Moreover, Śāriputra, the sentient beings born in the land of Sukhāvatī are all avaivartikas. Among them are many who are bound to one last rebirth; their number is exceedingly great, beyond the ability of calculation to know, and can only be spoken of in terms of immeasurable and boundless asaṃkhyeya-kalpas. Śāriputra, sentient beings who hear this ought to generate the vow wishing to be born in that land. Why is that? Because they will be able to assemble together in one place with such superior good persons as these. Śāriputra, one cannot attain rebirth in that land with few roots of goodness or little merit as causal conditions. Śāriputra, if there is a good man or a good woman who hears spoken of Amitābha Buddha and upholds his name—whether for one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, or seven days—with a single and undisturbed mind, then when that person approaches the end of life, Amitābha Buddha together with the assembly of holy ones will appear before them. When this person's life ends, their mind will not be confused, and they will immediately attain rebirth in Amitābha Buddha's land of Sukhāvatī. Śāriputra, seeing this benefit, I speak these words: if there are sentient beings who hear this teaching, they ought to generate the vow to be born in that land.
