### 與蘇州劉羅陽居士

> To Layman Liu Luoyang of Suzhou

曩啟專以念佛。求生淨土奉勸。然此道至元至妙。亦復至簡至易。以簡易故。高明者忽焉。夫生死。不離一念。乃至世出世間萬法。皆不離一念。今即以此念念佛。何等切近精實。若󳬇破此念起處。即是自性彌陀。即是祖師西來意。縱令不悟。乘此念力。往生極樂。且橫截生死。不受輪迴。終當大悟耳。願翁放下萬緣。十二時中。念念提撕。是所至望。

> I have always earnestly encouraged people to focus solely on reciting the Buddha's name and seek rebirth in the Pure Land. This path is supremely profound and wondrous, yet also supremely simple and easy. Precisely because it is so simple and easy, lofty minds tend to overlook it. Life and death are never separate from a single thought; indeed, all phenomena within and beyond the worldly realm never depart from this single thought. Now, if we use this very thought to recite the Buddha's name, how close, precise, and solid can that be? If you clearly see the origin of this thought, it is the self-nature Amitabha, it is the Patriarch's meaning in coming from the West. Even if you do not achieve enlightenment, by relying on the power of this mindfulness you will be reborn in Ultimate Bliss. Moreover, you will cut directly across birth and death, no longer subject to the cycle of rebirth, and will ultimately awaken. I hope that you, Honorable Sir, let go of all worldly concerns. Throughout the twelve hours of the day, in each and every thought, remain mindful. This is my earnest wish.
