### 答張百戶廣湉

妄念是病。念佛是藥。久病非片劑所能療。積妄非暫念所能除。其理一也。莫管他妄念紛飛。只貴在念佛精切。字字分明。句句接續。極力執持。方有趨向。分此謂真積力久。而一旦豁然。喻如磨杵作針。鍊鐵作鋼者。定不誣也。入道多門。惟此一門最為捷徑。不可忽不可忽。

> Deluded thoughts are a sickness. Reciting the Buddha's name is the medicine. A long-standing illness cannot be healed by a single dose; accumulated delusion cannot be eliminated by a brief moment of recitation. The principle is the same. Do not worry about deluded thoughts swirling wildly. What matters is that your recitation of the Buddha's name is focused and earnest—each word clear, each phrase continuous. Exert yourself fully in holding the name, and only then will there be a direction. This is what is meant by "true accumulation of effort over time," leading to a sudden, clear awakening. It is like grinding an iron rod into a needle, or smelting iron to make steel—this is certainly no falsehood. There are many paths to the Way, but this one path is the most direct. Do not neglect it. Do not neglect it.
