丞相周益公贊
皇皇然而無求。惕惕然而無憂。閔頹風之將墜。攬眾善以同流。導之以仁義之以寂滅。之以樂其有作。而莫識其無為。故中道奄然。而示人以真覺。

The "Longshu Expanded Pure Land Text" is an important Pure Land scripture compiled by the lay Buddhist Wang Rixiu during the Southern Song Dynasty. Written against the backdrop of the widespread popularity of Pure Land belief in the Song Dynasty, the author extensively drew upon Pure Land sutras, commentaries, and the writings of past masters to systematically expound the theory and practice of the Pure Land Dharma. It encourages sentient beings to develop faith, vow, and recite the Buddha's name, aspiring to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The content is profound yet accessible, integrating teachings from various schools, and has had a far-reaching impact on the popularization and dissemination of Pure Land doctrine. This work has long been regarded as one of the core scriptures of the Pure Land school, serving as an indispensable guide for practitioners of the Pure Land Dharma and holding a significant place in the history of Chinese Buddhism.
