净土法门，利益超胜
[32] [The] Pure Land Dharma Door [Has] Benefits [Of] Surpassing Excellence
昔大智律师，深通台教，严净毗尼，行愿精纯，志力广大，唯于净土，不生信向。
[The] past Vinaya Master Dàzhì deeply penetrated [the Tiān]tái teachings, [the] majestic [and] pure Vinaya, [and was with] practices [and] vows pure, willpower vast [and] great, only with [the] Pure Land [teachings], not giving rise [to] Faith’s direction.
后因大病，方知前非。嗣后二十余年，手不释卷，专研净土，方知此法，利益超胜。
Later, because [of] great sickness, then knowing [his] earlier mistake. Thereafter, [for] more [than] twenty years, [with his] hands not putting down scrolls, [with] focused study [of the] Pure Land [teachings], then knowing this Dharma [Door has] benefits [of] surpassing excellence.
遂敢于一切人前，称性发挥，了无怖畏。
Thereupon, daring to, before all people, match [their] natures [to] express [these teachings], completely without fear.
