有真信不怕疑
With True Faith, Without Fear [And] Doubt
往生全仗信愿真切。
Rebirth [in Āmítuófó’s Pure Land] completely relies [on] Faith [and] Aspiration [being] truly sincere.
若先有怕不能往生之疑,则不能往生矣。
If first having doubt [with] fear, of not [being] able [to be] reborn [there], then [is one] not able [to be] reborn.

(Reply Letter [To] Layperson Ní Huìbiǎo)
[有真信,则无疑而怕。
无真信,则有疑而怕。]
[With true Faith, then without fear from doubt.
Without true Faith, then with fear from doubt.]
