Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Taking Refuge to Amitabha

皈命彌陀

The Principal Buddha of the Pure Land School is Amitabha Buddha, the Vow King in the West. He is graded as the Reward Buddha with a reward body. He is a Buddha with numerous perfect and complete meritorious virtues as he is rewarded for his practices according to his vows in his causal ground. Although he is a Reward Buddha, he actually has a threefold body (dharma body, reward body, and manifested body), which are amalgamated into one.

淨土宗之本尊乃西方願王阿彌陀佛,其佛格為報身報佛,是酬報因位之願行而萬德圓滿之佛。雖謂報身佛,實則三身(法、報、應)圓具於一身之高妙報身佛。

Namo Amitabha!
