The 淨土論 [jing tu lun] (Jìngtǔ Lùn) states: "Contemplating the power of the Buddha's original vow, those who encounter it will not pass in vain, enabling them to quickly fulfill the great sea of 功德 [gong de] (gōng dé)." The 教行信證 [jiao xing xin zheng] (Jiào Xíng Xìn Zhèng) Volume 2 states: "Returning to the great sea of merit and virtue, one will surely gain entry into the number of the 大會眾數 [da hui zhong shu] (dà huì zhòng shù)."
大寶海—【術語】生無量珍寶之海。淨土論曰：「觀佛本願力，遇無空過者，能令速滿足功德大寶海。」教行信證二曰：「歸入功德大寶海，必獲入大會眾數。」
