Even Trangressors May Approach the Pure Land

They who promotes mental unrest
in all sentient beings is
destined for the Hells.
Let us hope when they depart
samsara, the loved ones
lefts behind are so devoted
to him that he escapes samsara
by practicing Buddha Recitation
of Amida's Name-that-calls accumulating
the good merits which result
in rebirth in the Pure Land.
All that sentient beings are
required do is Buddha Recitation,
with meditation providing
the set and setting conducive
to Buddha Remembrance.

Ten Deeds of Merit

All sentient beings are potential Buddhas; all they are required to do is to realize Buddhahood is to cross over to the Middle Way, by abandoning their worldliness and following the Ten Virtues.

While this seems like a simple thing, few sentient beings are able accomplish it due to attachment to one or all of the Ten Evil Acts. In order to practice the Ten Virtues, the practitioner is encouraged to practice the Ten Deeds of Merit:

1. Charity (giving without expectation of reward)
   
2. Morality (
   
3. Mental culture (meditation and reading the sutras)
   
4. Reverence or respect
   
5. Service in helping others
   
6. Sharing merits with others
   
7. Rejoicing in the merits of others
   
8. Preaching and teaching the Dhamma
   
9. Listening to the Dhamma
   
10. Straightening one's views

If it is not possible to practice all of the Ten Deeds of Merit, then Buddha Recitation will prepare the devotee for afterlife in the Pure Land of Bliss.
