慧淨上人法語
正依經典
慧淨上人法語
正依經典
The Infinite Life Sutra and the Contemplation Sutra too, are the principal sutras of the Pure Land teachings, all about Amitabha’s proactive, equal, and unconditional deliverance.
As they are the principal sutras of the Pure Land teachings (main basis, essential foundation), their general idea must be the identical and consistent; and it is not possible to be different, varied, and conflicting.
《無量壽經》也好,《觀無量壽經》也好,都是淨土法門的正依經典,都是講阿彌陀佛主動、平等、無條件的救度。既然是淨土法門的正依經典(主要依據的、根本依據的),那麼,它們的大意始終都是一致的、一貫性的,是不可能有不同、有差別、有矛盾的。
Namo Amitabha!
