慧淨上人法語
淨土信仰
It says in the paragraph of fulfillment of the 18th Vow: those who aspire that land are reborn immediately, and dwell in the state of non-retrogression.
Rebirth is easy, and dwelling in the state of non-retrogression is easy too. Easiness is the true reason why the Pure Land teaching is called the Easy Path. It is also the highest performance of Amitabha’s awesome power and his merits and virtues, so that all buddhas in the ten directions praise and extol it together.
第十八願成就文說:「願生彼國,即得往生,住不退轉。」
「往生」多麼容易,還有「住不退轉」多麼容易。「容易」是淨土門之所以稱為易行道的真義所在,這是彌陀威神、功德的最高表現,致使十方諸佛,皆共讚歎。
Namo Amitabha!
