修淨土的人，要把一切境界都看作阿彌陀佛。一句佛號常提，才能念得好。順境起貪愛——阿彌陀佛；逆境起瞋恨——阿彌陀佛。一切歸於阿彌陀佛，就對了！
心裡、口裡、行為上，除阿彌陀佛外沒有雜念，這叫一心專念、淨念相繼、專修專弘。覺而不迷，就是菩提心：有佛號是覺，無佛號是迷。這一點真實不虛。
境界現前時佛號為什麼丟了？因為把關不嚴、警覺不夠，所以功夫不得力。要把順逆、善惡緣都當作最好的道場，一句佛號頂上去，功夫就得力了。萬緣放下，專念彌陀，決定往生。
淨土見地 · 一句佛號
We who cultivate the Pure Land view all realms as Amitabha Buddha. Keep reciting His name—in favorable conditions when desire arises, Amitabha; in adversity when resentment arises, Amitabha. Attribute everything to Amitabha. Excellent!
In mind, speech, and action, no miscellaneous thoughts but Amitabha—this is single-minded recitation, continuous mindfulness, exclusive practice. Awake and not deluded is the bodhi mind: Amitabha in the mind is awakening; without Him, delusion.
Why does the name disappear when states shift? We were not vigilant. Stabilize this gate: meet every condition with the name, and kung fu becomes effective. Put down myriad conditions; recite Amitabha exclusively—rebirth is assured.
