Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
Although each Buddha sets forth the Four Great Vows to deliver sentient beings, it will be difficult for the Buddha to deliver those sentient beings who have no karmic affiliation with him. Amitabha Buddha is compassionate and his goal is to deliver sentient beings of the ten directions. Therefore, he has to develop karmic connections with sentient beings of the ten directions, no matter they are sagely or ordinary beings, or even the most iniquitous ones, and facilitate them to be equally reborn in the Land of Bliss. This is an extraordinary task!

雖然每位佛都一樣發救度眾生的「四弘誓願」,可是如果這個眾生跟這位佛沒有緣,這位佛要度他就比較困難。
阿彌陀佛的慈悲,祂的目的是要救度十方眾生,所以祂必須先跟十方眾生結緣。不管是聖人、凡夫或極惡罪人,都要讓他們平等往生極樂世界,這非同小可啊!
Namo Amitabha!
