净土法门即万不漏一之特别法门
[3] [The] Pure Land Dharma Door Is [The] Special Dharma Door, [With] Ten Thousand [Practitioners], Not Missing One
众生一念心性，与佛无二。虽在迷不觉，起惑造业，备作众罪，其本具佛性，原无损失。
Sentient beings’ one thought’s mind-nature, with [the] Buddhas’, [are] not two. Although in confusion not awakened, giving rise [to] confusions [and] creating [of evil] karma, prepared to do all transgressions, they fundamentally possess Buddha-nature, originally without [it] lost.
譬如摩尼宝珠，堕于圊厕，直与粪秽，了无有异。愚人不知是宝，便与粪秽一目视之。
For example, like [a] mani treasure gem, [having] fallen into [a] toilet, directly [coated] with excrement [and] filth, completely without having differences [from them]. Foolish persons [do] not know [it] is [a] treasure, then with excrement [and] filth, [with the] one [same] look, see it.
智者知是无价妙宝，不以污秽为嫌，必于厕中取出，用种种法，洗涤令洁。
Those wise know [it] is [a] priceless wonderful treasure, not with [the] filth, because of [that] detesting [it. They] will from [the] toilet within, take it out, [and] use all kinds [of] methods, washing [to] cause [it to be] clean.
然后悬之高幢，即得放大光明，随人所求，普雨众宝。愚人由是，始知宝贵。
Thereafter hanging it [on a] high pillar, then attaining [its] emitting [of] great bright light, according [to the] person, [with] that sought, universally raining all treasures. Foolish persons, because of this, then know [the] treasure [to be] precious.
大觉世尊，视诸众生，亦复如是。纵昏迷倒惑，备作五逆十恶，永堕三途恶道之人，佛无一念弃舍之心。
[The] Great Awakened World-Honoured [Ones], see all sentient beings, [to be] likewise thus. Even if ignorant [with] inverted confusions, of people prepared [to] do [the] Five Heinous [Transgressions and] Ten Evil [Karmas, for a] long [time] falling [into the] three [lower] realms’ evil paths, [the] Buddhas [are] without one thought of abandoning [them].
必伺其机缘，冥显加被，与之说法。俾了幻妄之惑业，悟真常之佛性，以至于圆证无上菩提而后已。
[They] will examine their capacities [and] conditions, [for those] hidden [and] obvious adding blessings, for them speaking [the] Dharma. So that [there can be] understanding [of the] illusoriness [and] falseness of confusions [and] karma, [and] awakening [to that] true [and] constant of Buddha-nature, up to complete realisation [of] unsurpassable Bodhi, then after ending.
于罪大恶极之人尚如是，其罪业小者，其戒善具修，禅定力深者，亦无一不如是也。
Of people with transgressions [of] great evil extreme still thus, [of] those [with] their transgressive karma little, [with] their precepts [and] good completely cultivated, [and of] those [with] meditative concentration’s power deep, likewise without one not thus.
以凡在三界之中，虽有执身摄心，伏诸烦惑之人，而情种尚在，福报一尽，降生下界。
With all within [the] three realms, although having attachment [to their] bodies [with] gathering [of their] minds, of people [who have] subdued all afflictions [and] confusions, yet [with] passions’ seeds still there, [when their] blessed rewards once exhaust, [they will] fall [to be] born [in the] lower realms.
遇境逢缘，犹复起惑造业，由业感苦，轮回六道，了无已时。
Meeting situations [and] encountering conditions, again still [giving] rise [to] confusions [and] creating [of evil] karma, due [to evil] karma, confusions [and] suffering, [they] are reborn [in the] six paths, completely without [an] ending time.
故《法华经》云：「三界无安，犹如火宅。众苦充满，甚可怖畏。」
Thus, [the ‘Wonderful] Dharma [Lotus] Flower Sūtra’ says, ‘[The] three realms [are] without peace, similar to [a] burning house. [With] all [kinds of] suffering filled fully, [that are] extremely terrifying.’
若非业尽情空，断惑证真，则无出此三界之望。
If not [with evil] karma exhausted [and] passions emptied, severing confusions [and] realising [the] true, [it is] then without hope of exiting these three realms.
此则唯有净土法门，但具真信切愿，持佛名号，即可仗佛慈力，往生西方。
[With] this, then only having [the] Pure Land Dharma Door, [that] only [needs one to be] complete [with] true Faith [and] sincere Aspiration, [to] uphold [the] Buddha’s name, then can [there be immediate] relying [on the] Buddha’s loving-kindness’ power, [to be] reborn [in his] Western [Pure Land].
既得往生，则入佛境界，同佛受用。凡情圣见，二皆不生。
Since attaining rebirth, then entering [the] Buddha’s realm, [with the] same [as that the] Buddha benefits [from. Of attachments to] ordinary passions [and] noble views, both [will] all not arise.
乃千稳万当，万不漏一之特别法门也。时当末法，舍此无术矣。
Thus, [for a] thousand secure [and] ten thousand reliable, [it is] the Special Dharma Door, [with] ten thousand [practitioners], not missing one [i.e. absolutely safe]. [In the] present, when [it is the] Dharma-Ending [Age, if] abandoning this, [there is] no [other] method [for liberation].
