The "Treasure King Treatise on the Buddha-Recollection Samādhi" composed by Master Feixi is an important treatise of the Pure Land school from the Tang Dynasty. Written during the High Tang period, it systematically expounds the theory and methods of practicing Buddha-recollection samādhi, emphasizes the supreme merit of reciting the Buddha's name, integrates the teachings of various schools, and advocates the dual cultivation of Chan and Pure Land. Its content covers the nature, states, practice, and benefits of Buddha-recollection samādhi, establishing a cultivation system that unifies all practices through Buddha-recollection. This treatise has profoundly influenced later Pure Land thought and is revered as one of the fundamental texts of the Pure Land school, regarded as equally important as the Three Sutras and One Treatise of Pure Land. It provides practitioners with a practical guide to ultimate liberation.


念未來佛速成三昧門第一
夫心之二也,生於群妄,群妄雖虛,惑者猶滯之。不釋,聖以之憂,玄韻暢而無說,法身空而具相,相之不明,說之不圓,一味之旨,絕言之路,誰可知其所歸歟?三昧之宗者,欲令弱喪知不二法門存乎語、默,匪唯淨名杜口、文殊興讚而已矣!
何則?夫帝網未張,千瓔焉覿?宏網忽舉,萬目齊開。浴大海者,已用於百川;念佛名者,必成於三昧。一言以蔽,其在茲焉。亦猶清珠下於濁水,濁水不得不清;佛想投於亂心,亂心不得不佛。既契之後,心、佛雙亡,雙亡定也,雙照慧也,即定慧齊均,亦何心而不佛?何佛而不心?心、佛既然,則萬境、萬緣無非三昧者也。
而世上之人,多念過去釋迦之月面,想現在彌陀之海目,如拔毒箭矣!如登快樂宮矣!吾亦以之為至教矣!猶未聞念未來諸佛之聚日者。何耶?蓋謂不了如來對眾生之麁,說諸佛之妙,遂隔眾生於諸佛之外,故不聞焉,孰肯念焉?《淨名經》中,有嗅薝蔔,不嗅餘香,花有著身、不著身者,此是抑揚大乘也。抑小則置鉢茫然,揚大則同遊不二。《法華經》決了聲聞法,是諸經之王,一切薝蔔不著之旨明矣。苟非其人,則以諸佛為至尊也,眾生為至卑也,高下出焉,群妄興矣,敬傲立焉,一真隱矣!
夫如是必草芥萬有,錙銖天下,幔幢已設,高倨稜層,目送飛鴻,心遊青漢,不可屈也,則阻維摩一切見敬為供養中最之文矣!又不信《楞伽經》說,如來藏自性清淨,轉三十二相,入於一切眾生心中。如大無價寶珠,垢衣所纏,豈觀城中最下乞人與難勝如來,等無有異?
若圓念三世佛、普觀十方尊,則合夫理趣般若,一切有情皆如來藏,普賢菩薩自體遍故之文矣!貧女懷王,米在穅𥢶之旨,鏡然可觀,豈可罹此八慢之責哉?人皆侮未來玉毫,不敢侮過、現金色。殊不知起罪之源,皆在於當來佛上,非已、今佛上也。眾生苟非,當佛焉在?若知母因子貴,米以穅全,有協《法華》不輕之心,則念佛三昧不速而成矣!
問曰:「法華者,法也;念佛者,佛也。安得以法為佛,以佛為法,浩浩亂哉?」
對曰:「不亂也!元是一門,而誰為亂?夫芝木之藥,列仙之子,昔各在天涯,則都無仙號。為人服其藥,羽化雲行,故藥受仙藥之名,人得仙人之稱,人、藥異也,其仙一也。若無聖人,誰與道游?法無佛悟,豈令自悟?法非佛不悟,念佛三昧生焉;佛非法不明,法華三昧起矣。一仙兩稱,俱得仙名,念佛、法華同名佛慧,佛慧既同,則不輕般舟,無上深妙禪門,於茲悟矣!未始異也,復何亂哉?」
