Đại Nguyện Nguyện 18 trong 48 Đại Nguyện của Phật A Di Đà : Nếu con được thành Phật, mà chúng sanh trong mười phương dốc lòng tin tưởng, muốn sanh về cõi nước con chỉ trong mười niệm, nếu không được toại nguyện, thì con chẳng trụ ở Ngôi Chánh Giác, trừ kẻ phạm năm tội nghịch và gièm chê Chánh Pháp. Nam Mô Pháp Giới Tạng Thân A Di Đà Phật Lời Khuyên Tịnh Độ (Ấn Quang Đại Sư) “ Ấn Quang từ Tây qua Ðông, từ Bắc xuống Nam, qua lại hơn vạn dặm, gặp gỡ nhiều người. Trong số đó, lắm kẻ bình nhật tự vỗ ngực là bậc thông Tông, thông Giáo, coi Tịnh Ðộ như uế vật, chỉ sợ nó làm bẩn lây đến mình. Lúc lâm chung, đa số chân loạn tay cuống, kêu cha gào mẹ. Trong số ấy, có những người trì giới niệm Phật già giặn, chắc thật, dù Tín Nguyện chưa đến mức cùng cực, tướng lành chẳng hiện, nhưng đều an nhiên mạng chung. Vì sao như vậy? Là vì tâm thuỷ trong lặng, do phân biệt nên xao động, đục ngầu, sóng thức trào dâng. Do Phật hiệu nên tâm thuỷ ngưng lặng. Bởi thế, kẻ thượng trí chẳng bằng kẻ hạ ngu, biến quá khéo thành vụng về lớn vậy!”

The Dhammapada 法句經 -- "Thousands" -- "數千" 08 of 26

Better than a thousand meaningless statements
Is one meaningful words,
Which, having been heard,
Brings peace.
(100)

Better than a thousand meaningless verses
Is one meaningful line of verse
Which, having been heard,
Brings peace.
(101)

Better than reciting a hundred meaningless verses
Is one line of Dharma
Which, having been heard,
Brings peace.
(102)

Greater in combat
Than a person who conquers
A thousand times a thousand people
Is the person who conquers herself.
(103)

Certainly it is better to conquer
Oneself than others.
For someone who is self-restrained
And always lives with mastery,
Neither a god, a gandhabbas,
Nor Mara and Brahma together
Could turn conquest into defeat.
(104-105)

Better than a thousand ritual sacrifices
Offered every month for a hundred years
Is one moment's homage offered
To one who has cultivated herself.
(106)

Better than a hundred years
In the forest tending a ritual fire
Is one moment's homage offer
To one who has cultivated himself.
(107)

Whatever sacrifice or offering a merit seeker
Might perform or offering a merit seeker
Might perform in an entire year
Is not worth one-fourth as much as
Expressing respect to those who are upright.
(108)

For the person who shows respect
And always reveres worthy people,
Four things increase:
Life span, beauty, happiness, and strength.
(109)

Better than one hundred years lived
With an unsettled [mind],
Devoid of virtue,
Is one day lived
Virtuous and absorbed in meditation.
(110)

Better than one hundred years lived
With an unsettled [mind],
Devoid of insight,
Is one day lived
With insight and absorbed in meditation.
(111)

Better than one hundred years lived
Lazily and lacking in effort
Is one day lived
With vigor and exertion.
(112)

Better than one hundred years lived
Without seeing the arising and passing of things
Is one day lived
Seeing their arising and passing.
(113)

Better than one hundred years lived
Without seeing the Deathless
Is one day lived
Seeing the Deathless.
(114)

Better than one hundred years lived
Without seeing the ultimate Dharma
Is one day lived
Seeing the ultimate Dharma.
(115)
