不更惡趣願 [bu geng e qu yuan]—(Bù gèng è qù yuàn) — [Terminology] The second of Amitābha Buddha's (阿彌陀佛 [a mi tuo fu]) forty-eight vows (四十八願 [si shi ba yuan]), a vow that those who are born in his land will not fall into evil destinies (惡道 [e dao]) again. The Sutra of Immeasurable Life (無量壽經 [wu liang shou jing]) states: "If, when I attain Buddhahood, the humans and devas in my land, after their lives end, should again fall into the three evil destinies (三惡道 [san e dao]), may I not attain perfect enlightenment (正覺 [zheng jue])."
不更惡趣願—【術語】阿彌陀佛四十八願中之第二，使生彼國者不更墮於惡道之願也。無量壽經上曰：「設我得佛，國中人天，壽終之後，復更三惡道者，不取正覺。」
