慧淨上人法語
機法深信
慧淨上人法語
機法深信
The practitioners in Pure Land teaching should have deep faith in both “aptitude” and “teaching”:
Deep faith in “aptitude” means: knowing by faith that we are ordinary beings full of heavy afflictions from birth to old age and death. How can such kinds of beings burst with joy? That may happen when they encounter the necessary conditions; but it will extinguish when the conditions leave.
Further more, we cannot liberate ourselves through cultivation of the worldly virtues; on the other hand, we also fail to cultivate virtues that help us leaving this world. So, with our own strength we don’t have the conditions for liberation [from the cycle of reincarnations].

淨宗行人，應具「機法二種深信」。
「信機」：即是信知自己從出生到老死，始終都是煩惱深重之凡夫，如是之人何能心花怒放？有，也是遇緣則現，緣過則滅。
又，世間善不能解脫，出世間善我們修不成，所以自身無有出離之緣。
