Shinran also praised master shandao with the following
"Shan-tao alone clarified the true intent of the Buddha Sakyamuni
Out of compassion for those who practice meditative or non-meditative good as well as those who commit the five gravest offenses and the ten transgressions,
He clarified that the Light and the Name are the cause and condition for birth in the Pure Land.
When aspirants are led into the Sea of Great Wisdom of the Primal Vow,
They are endowed with Faith, indestructible as diamond;
After attaining a single thought of Joy of oneness with Amida,
They obtain the three insights, as did Vaidehi,
And will realize the Eternal Bliss of Dharma-nature."
