念佛成佛有余
[41] Mindfulness [Of] Buddha [Is] More Than Enough [For] Accomplishing Buddhahood
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 assume [that] those [who] recite [the] Amitā[bha] Sūtra, [or] recite ‘Āmítuófó’, [are] then not able [to] eliminate ‘fixed’ [evil] karma?
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？
You, [if] able [to have] focused cultivation [of this] one Dharma [door], what request cannot [be] attained?
岂区区持此咒、念此经，得此功德，不得其余功德乎？
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?
