### 乙　求生淨土之意義

> The Meaning of Seeking Rebirth in the Pure Land

阿耨多羅三藐三菩提之大果，須廣集福德智慧資糧，行菩薩行，始能成辦。然人上壽不過百年，命在呼吸，而集資糧以求得生死之自在，事為至急，若不能即得生死自在，則第二生之隨業受報，或致迷倒淪墮，前此功德豈不唐捐？佛說淨土法門，在令得到一生不退，由眾生回向願力，佛菩薩大悲攝受力，使命終時往生淨土中，聞法修行。此與初發大心之凡夫，實最相應也。不退之理，以得常親近佛菩薩聞法加持故。

> The supreme fruit of Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi—perfect, complete enlightenment—requires the vast accumulation of merit and wisdom, and the practice of the Bodhisattva path, before it can be accomplished. Yet a human lifespan rarely exceeds a hundred years, and life hangs by a breath. Gathering the provisions to gain freedom over birth and death is a matter of utmost urgency. If one cannot attain such freedom in this very life, then in the next life one will be swept along by karma and its retributions, possibly falling into confusion and ruin. Would not all the merit accumulated before then be wasted? The Buddha taught the Pure Land path precisely to enable practitioners to reach the stage of non-retrogression within a single lifetime. Through sentient beings' power of dedication and aspiration, combined with the compassionate embracing power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, one can be reborn in the Pure Land at the end of life, there to hear the Dharma and cultivate. This path truly suits ordinary beings who have just aroused the great aspiration. The reason non-retrogression is possible lies in being able to constantly draw near the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, hearing the Dharma and receiving their sustaining blessings.
