Honen regarded this as the most important vow of all and explained it by saying, 'Therefore, I declare that, of the 48 Vows, Nenbutsujo no gan (the vow to pass away peacefully and be reborn in Paradise through invocation of Amitabha) is the king of hongan.' 法然はこの願を最も重要な願ととらえ、『選択本願念仏集』において、「故知 四十八願之中 既以念仏往生之願 而為本願中之王也」と解釈した。 |
