English version: Do not merely recite the Buddha's name ten thousand times; it is also necessary to praise the adornments of the Pure Land according to the appropriate times. It is essential to practice diligently, and those who attain thirty thousand, sixty thousand, or even one hundred thousand recitations are all reborn in the highest level of the highest grade. All other merits should be dedicated to rebirth in the Pure Land. It should be known that the method of Samadhi of visualizing the Buddha has already been explained above. The 'Inquiry' chapter of the *Banzhou Samadhi Sutra* elucidates the method of entering the Banzhou Samadhi of Buddha-recitation in the practice place for seven days and seven nights (from the *Banzhou Samadhi Sutra*). The Buddha told Batuohe (跋陀和, a name): 'There is a Samadhi called 'All Buddhas of the Ten Directions Stand Before You.' If you can practice this method, all your questions can be answered.' Batuohe (跋陀和) said to the Buddha: 'I wish you would explain this method for me, so that I can widely liberate beings, bring peace to the ten directions, and reveal the great light to all beings.' The Buddha told Batuohe (跋陀和): 'There is a Samadhi called 'Fixed Intention.' Learners should constantly guard, practice, and maintain this state, and not follow other methods. This Samadhi is the most excellent and foremost among all merits.' Furthermore, the *Conduct Chapter* says, the Buddha told Batuohe (跋陀和): 'If a Bodhisattva wants to quickly attain this Samadhi, they should always maintain firm faith and practice according to the Dharma. In this way, they can attain it. Do not have doubts or thoughts as fine as a hair. This method of 'Fixed Intention' is called the Bodhisattva's practice of surpassing all beings.' Establish one thought, believe in this Dharma, follow what is heard, recite in that direction. One should be single-minded, cut off all distracting thoughts, establish firm faith, and not hesitate or doubt. Practice diligently, do not be lazy, do not give rise to thoughts of 'existence' or 'non-existence'. Do not think of 'advancing', do not think of 'retreating', do not think of 'before', do not think of 'after'. Do not think of 'left', do not think of 'right', do not think of 'non-being', do not think of 'being'. Do not think of 'far', do not think of 'near', do not think of 'pain', do not think of 'itch'. Do not think of 'hunger', do not think of 'thirst', do not think of 'cold', do not think of 'heat'. Do not think of 'suffering', do not think of 'pleasure', do not think of 'birth', do not think of 'old age'. Do not think of 'sickness', do not think of 'death', do not think of 'life', do not think of 'longevity'. Do not think of 'poverty', do not think of 'wealth', do not think of 'nobility', do not think of 'humility'. Do not think of 'form', do not think of 'desire', do not think of 'small', do not think of 'large'. Do not think of 'long', do not think of 'short', do not think of 'good', do not think of 'ugly'. Do not think of...
