[There] absolutely must not [be] with ordinary beings [and] external paths’ knowledge [and] views, [to] falsely give rise [to] conjectures, calling [the] Pure Land’s all kinds [of] inconceivable supremely wonderful adornments, [to] all belong [to] fables [and] analogies [of the] mind’s dharmas, [to] not have [their] true realm.

若有此种邪知谬见,便失往生净土实益。

其害甚大,不可不知。

These harms extremely great, must not [be] not known.
