慧淨上人法語
淨土信仰
Only Pure Land teaching is the one that we manage to study in this life, and that belongs to us. Meanwhile, it is the highest teaching among the 84,000 schools of Dharma practice. So, Pure Land teaching is complete (round or perfect), direct and immediate (sudden, quick or ultimate) Dharma school. The six-character name consists of all merits and virtues, so it is complete. We can believe and accept right now, practice right now, and be assured of rebirth right now, so it is direct and immediate. Hence, it is a complete, direct and immediate teaching. This Pure Land teaching is easy to commence, while its achievement is remarkably high. Ten thousand people who practice it will be reborn [in the Pure Land].
唯有淨土法門才是我們今世可學得來、可擁有的，同時，它是八萬四千法門當中最高的法門。所以，淨土法門是一個圓頓的法門。六字名號具足一切功德，就是「圓」；當下信受、當下修持，當下決定往生，就是「頓」，所以是圓頓的法門。而且下手容易、成就很高、萬修萬人去的，就是這個淨土法門。
Namo Amitabha!
