慧淨上人法語
正依經典

Our learning and practice of the Pure Land teaching is based on a theoretical ground, and the most important part is the sutras that are surely the words told by the Buddha. Only those words delivered by the Buddha can be relied on as the basis of our learning of Buddhism.

The Buddha is an enlightened being who have realized the truth of universe. He understands thoroughly the truth of human life and universe. Naturally, his words reveal the truth. So, only those words spoken by the Buddha can be the theoretical ground of the teaching of our sect.

我們修持淨土法門，有理論上的根據，最重要的根據就是佛經，因為惟有佛經確實是佛所說，惟有佛所說才能做我們學佛人的根據。
佛是覺悟宇宙真理的人，祂透徹了解宇宙人生的真理，祂所說出來的話，自然就成為真理，所以，唯有依據佛所說，才可以作為宗門的依據理論。

Namo Amitabha!
