description: "雲棲淨土彙語由清代虞執西和嚴培西共同錄編，成書於淨土宗興盛的清初時期。該書輯錄了蓮池大師（雲棲祩宏）的淨土法門開示、語錄及修行要義，集中闡述念佛往生、淨業三福等核心思想。作為淨土宗重要典籍，它系統傳承了雲棲大師的淨土教法，對清代淨土信仰的普及與實踐產生了深遠影響，是研究中國佛教淨土宗思想和修行的重要文獻。"

### 答湖廣劉守復居士廣曙

凡夫放心。初學攝心。後乃得心。攝心非止一法。功高易進。念佛為先。古云。餘門學道。如蟻子上於高山。念佛往生。似風帆行於順水。想起時不須別作除滅。但舉阿彌陀佛四字。盡力挨拶。便是攝心工夫。忽然悟去。名曰得心。

> Ordinary people let their minds run wild. Beginners train the mind to focus. Later, they master the mind. There are many ways to focus the mind. The easiest and most effective is mindful recitation of the Buddha's name. As the ancients said, "Other paths to awakening are like an ant climbing a high mountain. But reciting the Buddha's name for rebirth is like a sailboat moving with the current." When thoughts arise, there's no need to suppress them. Simply recite "Amitabha Buddha" with all your effort. This itself is the work of focusing the mind. When sudden awakening comes, this is called mastering the mind.
