Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Taking Refuge to Amitabha
皈命彌陀
In the phrase “unconditioned great kindness”, unconditioned means great kindness and compassion without any condition. Only the kind of compassion that will deliver those who cannot be delivered can be regarded as great. If there is a person that cannot be delivered, that kind of compassion and wisdom is then limited to a defined scope, and hence not really great.
Amitabha’s deliverance is unconditioned kindness and compassion absolutely without any condition. Moreover, Amitabha has accomplished all merits and virtues required to deliver us before he becomes a Buddha.
所謂「無緣大慈」，緣就是條件，無緣就是無條件的大慈悲，救度不能救度的人，這種慈悲才是大；如果有不能救度的人，那麼這種慈悲跟智慧就有範圍了，就不是大了。
阿彌陀佛的救度，是絕對沒有條件的無緣大慈，而且阿彌陀佛已經完成了救度我們的功德能量，因此祂才成佛的。
Namo Amitabha!
