Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Taking Refuge to Amitabha
皈命彌陀
Amitabha Buddha is the Master of Land of Bliss. He made vows to deliver each of sentient beings. The characteristics of the deliverance of Amitabha Buddha are:
1. It is proactive, no need for us to ask and invite. Before the countless eons, Amitabha proactively made vows to deliver sentient beings of the ten directions, and build the Land of Bliss, and complete the merits and virtues necessary from delivering sentient beings of the ten worlds through cultivation. While he made the vows by that time, we did not know. And, during our reincarnation in the Three Wretched Realms – hell, ghost and animal, we did not know Amitabha Buddha had made vows and practiced for us.

阿彌陀佛是西方極樂世界的教主，祂發願要救度每一位眾生，阿彌陀佛救度眾生的特色是：
（一）主動而來，不必我們請求拜託。阿彌陀佛在無量劫之前，就主動為十方眾生發願，建設極樂世界，修行完成救度十方世界眾生的功德。祂當時為我們發願，我們並不知道，當我們輪迴在地獄或是餓鬼、畜牲道時，我們都不知道阿彌陀佛已經在為我們發願修行了。
Namo Amitabha!
