Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Attributes of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Those who follow the Fundamental Vow should know that they are iniquitous sentient beings, should feel ashamed and regretted, should be soft and humble, and should think of practicing good and abandoning evil—just like Master Shandao says, “Always repent with every recitation of Amitabha’s name.”
We should also understand the deliverance with great compassion of Amitabha, receive and accept His grace, be thankful and repay his grace—just like Master Shandao says, “Learn the compassionate mind of the Buddha”. We then feel sympathy for all sentient beings and render happiness to them.
學本願之人，既知自己是罪惡凡夫，則生慚愧懺悔，心存謙卑柔軟，而思棄惡行善，如善導大師言「念念稱名常懺悔」。
又既知彌陀大悲救度，且受恩感恩，則應謝恩報恩，如同善導大師言「學佛大悲心」，而悲愍眾生，利樂有情。
Namo Amitabha!
