慧淨上人法語
正依經典

Every sect and school must have its own primary sutras to based on, otherwise no matter how it is expressed in profound and mysterious words, or how efficacious and moved it is, or appealing in attracting many people, the teaching is known as “heretic”, because it is not spoken by the Buddha.

The primary sutras that the Pure Land sect is based are: The Buddha-Spoken Infinite Life Sutra, The Buddha-Spoken Contemplation Sutra, The Buddha-Spoken Amitabha Sutra. They are known as the “Three Pure Land Sutras”.

各宗各派都必須有其經典依據，否則即使講的再高深、玄妙，再有感應、動人，能夠吸引廣大的人眾聚集，但如果沒有依據經典，不合乎佛說，那這一個法就是外道。

我們淨土宗依據的經典就是「淨土三部經」，也就是：《佛說無量壽經》、《佛說觀無量壽經》、《佛說阿彌陀經》。

Namo Amitabha!
