淨土宗之一義。往生於彌陀之淨土,不僅限於念佛之一類,修念佛以外之諸行者,亦得往生,此宗義名曰二類各生。蓋彌陀本願,其第十八願,雖誓救濟但修念佛者,而其第十九、第二十之二願,於修諸行者,亦誓使往生也。
The Pure Land will not be limited to those who repeat the name of Amitābha according to his eighteenth vow; but includes those who adopt other ways (as shown in his nineteenth and twentieth vows).
一二類各生 乃淨土宗之一義。以往生彌陀之淨土者,不只限於念佛一類,修念佛以外之諸行者,亦得往生,此宗義稱為二類各生。蓋彌陀之本願,其第十八願雖誓濟但修念佛者,然第十九、二十等願,於諸修行者,亦誓使往生。p366
