[91] 如何理解念佛一法是阿伽陀药？
[91] How [To] Understand Reciting [Āmítuó]fó[’s Name’s] One Dharma Is [Taking] Āgada Medicine?
◎ 以普生总治一切病故。
◎ [Summary]: With universal life, totally curing all sicknesses thus.
念佛一法，如阿伽陀药。梵语阿伽陀，华言普生，亦云总治，以普生总治一切病故。
Reciting [Āmítuó]fó[’s name’s (阿弥陀佛)] [i.e. mindfulness of Buddha] one Dharma, [is] like [taking] Āgada medicine. [The] Sanskrit ‘Āgada’, [in] Chinese words [means] ‘universal life’, [is] also called ‘total cure’, with universal life totally curing all sicknesses thus.
念佛一法，能除八万四千烦恼，亦复如是。
Reciting [Āmítuó]fó[’s name’s] one Dharma, [is] able [to] eliminate eighty-four thousand afflictions, likewise thus.
所以念佛法门，包罗万象。一切诸法，无不从此法界流。一切诸法，无不还归此法界。
Therefore, Mindfulness [Of] Buddha’s Dharma Door, includes [the] ten thousand forms. All Dharmas, [are] without [those] not from this Dharma realm flowing. All Dharmas, [are] without [those] not returning back [to] this Dharma realm.
以其为诸法总持，故得无法不备，无机不收也。
With it as all Dharmas’ total retention, thus attained [is with] no Dharmas not complete, [and with] no capacities not received.
