己身彌陀唯心淨土

(己身彌陀唯心淨土, 己身弥陀唯心净土)

Myself (is) Amitābha, my mind (is) the Pure Land. All things are but the one Mind, so that outside existing beings there is no Buddha and no Pure Land. Thus Amitābha is the Amitābha within and the Pure Land is the Pure Land of the mind. It is an expression of Buddhist pantheism-- that all is Buddha and Buddha is all.

謂萬法唯一心， 故心外無佛， 亦無淨土， 彌陀即己身中之彌陀， 淨土即我心內之淨土。 這是一個由諸法唯心萬法一如之理性而談的法門。 觀無量壽經說： 「諸佛如來是法界身， 入一切眾生心想中， 是故汝等心想佛時， 是心即是三十二相八十隨形好。 是心作佛， 是心是佛。」天台觀經疏也說： 「諸佛法身， 與己同體， 現觀佛時， 心中現者名心是佛。」
