33 - The Three Sacred Beings Constantly Appearing (continued)
Question 33.2
The passage that speaks of the “Three Sages constantly appearing” is about the benefit resulting from completing the Twelfth (Universal) Contemplation, in the Contemplation Sutra. Does orally reciting the six-character Name also bring about this same benefit?
Answer:
Yes. By reciting Amitabha’s Name, one fully receives all the merits of the Buddha as one’s own merit, and the resulting benefit far surpasses that of contemplating the Buddha.
33. 《觀經》三聖常來 (續)
33.2 問：三聖常來這段文是《觀經》第十二觀「普觀」觀成的果益，口稱六字名 號也有此勝益嗎？
答：有。念佛全攝佛功德成自功德，果益遠勝觀佛。
Namo Amituofo!
