Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
Though the Buddhahood that all Buddhas of the ten directions achieve is the same, they are different in making individual vows and practicing in his causal ground. Hence, though they are all Buddhas, their power are different.
Amitabha Buddha originally set forth deep and heavy vows in his causal ground, that is, the 48 great vows. By the time he accomplished all his vows and practices, he also completed his Name, through which can illuminate and benefit [all sentient beings] in the worlds of the ten directions, so as they provoke to recite it. It does not matter whether they recite this Name for rebirth or for other benefits in the present life. Let us pray, and let us recite, so that sentient beings of the ten directions can be easily reborn in the Land of Bliss with recourse to Amitabha’s vow power.
十方諸佛雖然同樣都成佛，不過，每一尊佛在因地時，所發的願、所修的行，個個不同。因此，雖然同樣成佛，但佛力會有不同。
阿彌陀佛在因地本來就發過深重誓願，也就是四十八大願，當他願行成就，完成了光明名號，就能夠攝化十方，使十方眾生來求念。不論是為求往生或是為求現世福利而念這句佛號，都沒關係，都讓你們求、讓你們念，依此願力，十方眾生容易往生極樂世界。
Namo Amitabha!
