"When we call upon Amitabha Buddha, it is both an external calling for salvation and an internal calling for the awakening of our true self."
- Master Shandao
"The multitude of practices in Buddhism all generate merit, but they scatter like leaves in the wind without a focal point. Reciting the Name of Amitabha gathers all these merits into a single direction: Sukhavati."
- Master Yuan Zhao
Master Shandao's teaching that we will attain birth through saying the Name "ten times or even once" gives us the essentials of trust in the Nembutsu; his statement that we should "not abandon it from moment to moment" gives us the essentials of practice.
- Master Honen
You say Nianfo is too simple.
Its not too simple.

You can't find anything easier than this.
