念佛成佛有余
[41] Mindfulness [Of] Buddha [Is] More Than Enough [For] Accomplishing Buddhahood
[148] 为什么说佛法如钱，在人善用？念阿弥陀佛能灭定业吗？
[148] Why Say [The] Buddha’s Dharma [Doors Are] Like Money, Depending [On] People [To Have] Good Use [Of It? Is] Reciting ‘Āmítuófó’ Able [To] Eliminate ‘Fixed’ [Evil] Karmas?
◎ 一句阿弥陀佛，持之及极，成佛尚有余，将谓念《弥陀经》念佛者，便不能灭定业乎？佛法如钱，在人善用，汝有钱则何事不可为。汝能专修一法，何求不得？
◎ [Summary]: [As with the] one line [of] ‘Āmítuófó’, upholding it [to] reach [the] utmost, [this is] still more than enough [for] accomplishing Buddhahood, [by reaching his Pure Land, for the swiftest non-retrogressible spiritual progress there, who] will say [that] those [who] recite [the] Amitā[bha] Sūtra [or] recite ‘[Āmítuó]fó’, [are] then not able [to] eliminate ‘fixed’ [evil] karmas? [The] Buddha’s Dharma [Doors are] like money, depending [on] people [to have] good use [of it]. You, [if] having money then, what matter [such as buying what you need], cannot [be] done? You, [if] able [to have] focused cultivation [of this] one Dharma [door], what request cannot [be] attained?
须知一句阿弥陀佛，持之及极，成佛尚有余，将谓念《弥陀经》、念佛者，便不能灭定业乎？
[As it] should [be] known [that with the] one line [of] ‘Āmítuófó’, upholding it [to] reach [the] utmost, [this is] still more than enough [for] accomplishing Buddhahood, [by reaching his Pure Land, for the swiftest non-retrogressible spiritual progress there, who] will say [that] those [who] recite [the] Amitā[bha] Sūtra [or] recite ‘[Āmítuó]fó’, [are] then not able [to] eliminate ‘fixed’ [evil] karmas?
佛法如钱，在人善用。汝有钱则何事不可为？
[The] Buddha’s Dharma [Doors are] like money, depending [on] people [to have] good use [of it]. You, [if] having money then, what matter [such as buying what you need], cannot [be] done?
汝能专修一法，何求不得？岂区区持此咒、念此经，得此功德，不得其余功德乎？
You, [if] able [to have] focused cultivation [of this] one Dharma [Door], what request cannot [be] attained? How can it be that [to] merely uphold this mantra [or] recite this sūtra, attains these meritorious virtues, [and does] not attain those other meritorious virtues?

善体光言，自可一了百了，否则纵说的多，汝仍是心无定见，有何益乎？
[If] well understanding [Yìn]guāng‘s words, [you] naturally can, [with] one [aspect] understood, [have a] hundred understood. Otherwise, even if [that] spoken is much, [yet] you are still [with your] mind without [a] decided view, [this] has what benefit?
