慧淨上人法語
正依經典

The principal sutras of the Pure Land Buddhism include: the Infinite Life Sutra, the Contemplation Sutra, and the Amitabha Sutra. Of course, the three sutras have different text and vary in length; but they all have the same line of thinking and objective. There is no difference. They talk about only one thing, not two. Hence, the method of our rebirth is name-recitation in accordance with the Fundamental Vow. By name-recitation, we can get on board Amitabha’s boat of the Fundamental Vow.

淨土宗的正依經典：《無量壽經》、《觀無量壽經》、《阿彌陀經》，三經固然文字不同，經文也各有長短多寡，可是它們的思想與宗旨都一致，並沒有差別，所講的就是一件事，沒有兩件。所以我們往生的方法，就是「本願稱名」，稱名就能乘上了阿彌陀佛的本願船。

Namo Amitabha!
