劝生西方功德最大
劝人念佛求生西方，
即是成就凡夫作佛，功德最大。
以此功德回向往生，必满所愿。

Encouragement [To Be] Born [In The] Western [Pure Land Creates The] Greatest Meritorious Virtues
[As] encouraging people [to be] mindful [of the] Buddha[‘s name: ‘Āmítuófó’ (阿弥陀佛) to] seek birth [in his] Western [Pure Land], is the same as accomplishing ordinary beings [to] become Buddhas, [these] meritorious virtues [are the] most great. With these meritorious virtues dedicating [for] rebirth [in Pure Land, this will] definitely fulfil that aspired [for].
