菩提分种种善根,发此心故当生彼处。然不离念佛,发此心故当生彼处;远离诸相故。弥勒!此十种发心,若菩萨各发念一具足者,当往生彼阿弥陀佛刹中,若不生者无有是处。”   尔时长老阿难白佛言:“希有,世尊!乃至如来说此法本,为诸菩萨发觉。”   尔时世尊,赞长老阿难言:“善哉,善哉!阿难!是故菩萨于此法本发觉,当如是持。”   佛说此经时,弥勒菩萨及长老阿难,欢喜踊跃。彼六十菩萨乘行诸善男子等,皆悉灭彼业障,欢喜奉行作礼而去。   发觉净心经卷下 现代汉语译本:菩提(觉悟)的根基有种种善行,发起这种心愿的人应当往生到那个地方。然而,不离念佛,发起这种心愿的人应当往生到那个地方;因为他们远离了各种表象。弥勒(未来佛)!这十种发心,如果菩萨们各自发起并念诵其中一种,都能够往生到阿弥陀佛(西方极乐世界的佛)的佛土中,如果不能往生,那是不可能的。 当时,长老阿难(佛陀的十大弟子之一)对佛说:‘稀有啊,世尊!乃至如来说出这个法本,是为了启发诸位菩萨的觉悟。’ 当时,世尊赞叹长老阿难说:‘好啊,好啊!阿难!所以菩萨们对于这个法本的觉悟,应当这样坚持。’ 佛陀说完这部经时,弥勒菩萨和长老阿难,都欢喜踊跃。那六十位菩萨乘行诸善男子等,都消除了他们的业障,欢喜地奉行教诲,作礼而去。 发觉净心经卷下

English version: The roots of Bodhi (enlightenment) are of various good deeds, and those who generate this aspiration should be born in that place. However, without abandoning mindfulness of the Buddha, those who generate this aspiration should be born in that place; because they are detached from all forms. Maitreya (the future Buddha)! These ten kinds of aspirations, if each Bodhisattva generates and recites one of them, they will all be able to be reborn in the Buddha-land of Amitabha (the Buddha of the Western Pure Land), and if they cannot be reborn, that is impossible. At that time, the elder Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) said to the Buddha: 'It is rare, World Honored One! Even the Tathagata (Buddha) speaks this Dharma text, to awaken the enlightenment of all Bodhisattvas.' At that time, the World Honored One praised the elder Ananda, saying: 'Good, good! Ananda! Therefore, Bodhisattvas should hold onto the enlightenment of this Dharma text in this way.' When the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Maitreya Bodhisattva and the elder Ananda were all joyful and elated. Those sixty Bodhisattva-practicing virtuous men, all eliminated their karmic obstacles, joyfully followed the teachings, paid their respects, and departed.
