净业必修
[63] [What] Must [Be] Cultivated [For] Pure Karma

凡修净业者，第一必须严持净戒，第二必须发菩提心，第三必须具真信愿。

[Of] all those cultivating pure karma, first, [they] must strictly uphold [the] pure precepts, second, [they] must give rise [to the] Bodhi Mind (Bodhicitta), [and] third, [they] must [be] complete [with] true Faith [and] Aspiration [to reach Pure Land].

戒为诸法之基址，菩提心为修道之主帅，信愿为往生之前导。

[The] precepts are [the] foundation of all Dharma [teachings, the] Bodhi Mind is [the] chief commander of cultivating [the] path, [while] Faith [and] Aspiration are [the] leading guides of rebirth [in Pure Land].
