《弥陀要解》曰:“一声阿弥陀佛,即释迦本师于五浊恶世所得之阿耨多罗三藐三菩提法。今以此果觉全体授与浊恶众生,乃诸佛所行境界,唯佛与佛能究尽,非九界自力所能信解也。”

净土五经一论
1. 《佛说大乘无量寿庄严清净平等觉经》
2. 《佛说阿弥陀经》
3. 《佛说观无量寿佛经》
4. 《大方广佛华严经普贤行愿品》
5. 《大佛顶首楞严经 大势至菩萨念佛圆通章》
一论为天亲菩萨所造《往生论》。

净土法门,甚广甚大,上中下三根普披,利顿众生全收。九法界众生(菩萨、声闻、缘觉、天、人、阿修罗、畜生、鬼、地狱)若捨此法,上无以圆成佛道;十方诸佛若离此门,下无以普度群萌。一切法门,无不从净土流出;一切行门,无不还归净土。何以见得?

一切法门,皆从《华严经》流出。华严是佛初成正觉时,在菩提树下,甚深禅定中,为四十一位法身大士(已断尽见思二惑、明心见性之菩萨。四十一位次:十住、十行、十迴向、十地、等觉。第四十二位次妙觉,就是佛位)所说的一生成佛之法。

在华严末后之「入法界品」,善财童子参访诸位善知识后,最后来到普贤菩萨座下,蒙其威神加披,所证境界已是等觉菩萨。普贤菩萨以「十大愿王」,劝导善财以及花藏世界的四十一位法身大士,一同往生西方极乐世界,以期圆满佛果。此举表示:往生西方是华严「归宗结顶」之法。所谓「一生成佛」之法,正是求生西方。

净土法门之玄妙,唯有法身大士与菩萨根性的人能接受,声闻、缘觉等小乘圣人都无法接受,何况六道凡夫?因此,佛在其四十九年的教化中,头十二年「阿含期」,只讲小乘经论,並无提及净土。待得弟子们的根性提升了,在接下来的「方等期」,才说出净土三经,使一切凡圣,同事修持,以期现生就能出离娑婆恶世,登彼极乐莲邦。
