[374] What Should People Mindful Of Buddha Do, To Be Able To Have Their Minds And The Buddha Corresponding? 念佛人应该怎样做才能心佛相应?

念佛一法,理极高深,事甚平常。

Mindfulness [of] Buddha, [this] one Dharma [Door, is with] principles utmost high [and] profound, [yet with] practice extremely ordinary.

欲求心佛相应,第一是志诚恳切,第二是听,反闻念佛声。

[If] desiring [to] seek [the] mind, [to be with the] Buddha corresponding, [that needed] first is sincere wholeheartedness, [and that] second [needed] is listening, [with] reversed hearing [of] reciting [of the] Buddha’s [name’s (Āmítuófó: 阿弥陀佛)] sound.

诚听兼到,昏散自除。

[With] sincerity [and] listening together reached, drowsiness [and] scatteredness [will] naturally [be] eliminated.

Námó Āmítuófó : Translation by Shen Shi’an
