Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
Actually, we are ordinary beings with severe afflictions and heavy karmic obstructions. Our Alaya Consciousness has the “seeds” that could grow in the lowest level of the low tier. It does not germinate because the conditions have not come yet. If we do not leave the cycle of reincarnation, we will inevitably come across the situation that the “seeds” germinate in a certain lifetime throughout the countless future lifetimes, during which we will commit offenses in the Five Gravest Transgressions and the Ten Unwholesome Deeds, or even slander the Dharma with no virtuous root.
Thus, we can’t avoid falling if we are unable to leave the cycle of reincarnation. It is extremely dangerous and extremely horrifying. We must take the opportunity of this lifetime to escape from the cycle of reincarnation. One thought can pass through the three periods of time. If we do think that we are those in the lowest level of the low tier, we will “completely give up, and rely totally on [Amitabha’s deliverance]”. There is no another way.
其實我們都是煩惱強盛，業障深重的凡夫，阿賴耶識中都藏有下品下生的種子，只是尚未起逢緣現行而已，若是輪迴未出，則在生生世世、世世生生的無盡輪迴當中，難免會有某一生某一世下品下生的種子起現行，而造作五逆十惡，甚至謗法闡提。
因此輪迴不出，難免墮落，危險之至，恐怖之極，所以要把握此生，脫出輪迴。一念通三世，如果設想自己就是下品下生的根機，就會「徹底放下、通身倒靠」，沒有第二條路。
Namo Amitabha!
