大心念，见大佛
[68] [With] Great Mindfulness Seeing [A] Great Buddha
「大念见大佛，小念见小佛。」
‘[With] great mindfulness [of the Buddha’s name (i.e. Āmítuófó)] sees [a] great Buddha, [and with] little mindfulness sees [a] little Buddha.’
古德释云：「大声念，则所见之佛身大。小声念，则所见之佛身小。」
Ancient virtuous [ones] explain [this to] say, ‘[With a] loud voice reciting, then is that seen Buddha’s body great. [With a] soft voice reciting, then [is] that seen Buddha’s body little.’
亦可云：「大心念，则所见之佛身大。以大菩提心念佛，则便可见佛胜妙应身或报身耳。」
[It] likewise can [be] said [that, ‘With a] great heart [or mind] mindful [i.e. even if silently; verbally in the mind], then is that seen Buddha’s body great. [With] great Bodhi Mind [i.e. Bodhicitta] mindful [of the] Buddha, then can [be] seen [is the] Buddha’s supremely wonderful manifestation body or reward body.’
