nhất niệm

thought-moment

• The time of a thought, of which there are varying measurements from 60 kṣaṇa upwards; the Fanyi mingyi calls it one kṣaṇa. See also 發意頃 (Skt. eka-kṣaṇa). [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): JEBD]
• A reading. A repetition; a single invocation (especially of Amitâbha's name). The Pure Land school identifies the thought of Buddha with Amitâbha's vow, hence it is an assurance of salvation. [resp. Charles Muller]
• One moment of true faith, which is distinguished as faith. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): JEBD]
• (Skt. eka-kṣaṇika; eka-citta; eka-citta-kṣaṇa, eka-cittôtpāda, kṣaṇa, *kṣaṇika, kṣaṇena, vikṣaṇa) [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Hirakawa]
