怖心难生、善心难发，故经云：『勿轻小罪以为无殃，水滴虽微渐盈大器。刹那造罪殃堕无间，一失人身 万劫不复。壮色不停犹如奔马，人命无常过于山水，今日虽存明亦难保。众等各各一心勤修精进，慎勿懈怠懒惰睡眠纵意，夜即摄心存念三宝。莫以空过徒设疲劳，后代深悔。』
卢舍那佛
《梵网经菩萨戒序》摘录
As the terrified mind is difficult to produce, and the good mind is difficult to give rise, thus does a sūtra say, “Do not be with light and small transgressions as being without misfortune, as water drops, although small, gradually fill a big vessel.
In a kṣaṇa creating a transgression, with the misfortune of falling into the Uninterrupted Hell, once losing the human body, for ten thousand kalpas not again with it.
A robust form does not halt, similar to a galloping horse. Human life is impermanent, more so than mountains and rivers. Today, although surviving, tomorrow, it is likewise difficult to guarantee.
Of those in this assembly with others, each and every one should wholeheartedly persevere and cultivate diligently. Be cautious not to be with laziness, idleness, sleep and wantonness.
At night then, gather the mind to retain mindfulness of the Triple Gem. Do not be with empty passing of time, only creating fatigue, in a later age with deep regrets.”
Rocana Buddha
Excerpt From Brahma Net Sūtra Bodhisattva Precepts’ Preface
[Note: With mindfulness of Āmítuófó (阿弥陀佛) is mindfulness of the Triple Gem (三宝) as according to the Buddha in ‘The Sūtra In Which The Buddha Speaks Of Amitā(bha) Buddha’s Fundamental Esoteric Spiritual Mantra’《佛说阿弥陀佛根本秘密神咒经》: https://purelanders.com/shenzhou :
「阿字十方三世佛，
弥字一切诸菩萨，
陀字八万诸圣教，
三字之中是具足。」
‘As in the word ‘Ā’ are the ten directions’ and three periods’ Buddhas, in the word ‘Mí’ are all Bodhisattvas, and in the word ‘Tuó’ (Tā) are all 84,000 noble teachings, of these three words (Āmítuó/Amitā) within is (spiritual) completion.’
Thus, the essence of the Triple Gem (三宝) — the Buddhas (佛), the Dharma (法) and the Noble Saṃgha (圣僧) are all within Āmítuófó’s name.]
