慧淨上人法語
淨土信仰
Among the eighty-four thousand teachings of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, or the exoteric and esoteric teachings of the eight major sects of [Mahayana] Buddhism, which teaching or which sect can offer the universal deliverance of sentient beings with perfect and complete great kindness and compassion, eradicate all suffering and render all happiness to sentient beings so that they can achieve happiness and depart from all sufferings?
Only the Pure Land sect can. The teaching not only facilitates all sentient beings to depart from sufferings of the staged birth-and-death taking place within the Six Realms and realize sufferings of the varied birth-and-death [of transient thoughts] as parts of the Dharma-nature, it also enables sentient beings in achieving the real happiness of nirvana. It is a genuine achievement of happiness and departure from all sufferings.
大乘、小乘八萬四千法門，顯教、密教八大宗派中，有哪一個法門、哪一個宗派能夠圓滿大慈大悲地普度眾生、給予眾生拔苦與樂、令其離苦得樂呢？
只有淨土宗。不但能讓眾生離開六道輪迴的分段生死之苦、分證法性的變異生死之苦，而且能令眾生得證涅槃的真實之樂，這才是真正的離苦得樂。
Namo Amitabha!
