Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
(continued)
In modern times, the most renowned practitioners [in China] are elder monks Master Guangqin and Master Xuyun. Master Xuyan practiced mediation and had entered the meditative states several times. Master Guangqin did not practice meditation, but he did have some deep experiences of the meditative state when he stayed in the mountains.
Master Guangqin, however, eventually realized that he could not liberate from the reincarnation of birth and death even he was able to reach the meditative state. So, in his final years, he emphasized on Amitabha-recitation and propagated the Pure Land teachings. Although taught Chan School, Master Xuyun also talked about the Pure Land teachings.
近代最出名的是廣欽老和尚和虛雲老和尚，虛雲老和尚是學禪的，有幾次入定的經驗；廣欽老和尚不是學禪宗的，可是他曾經在深山有深沈的入定經驗。
不過廣欽老和尚最後曉得，即使有禪定的經驗，也不能了脫生死輪迴，所以晚年他都強調念佛，弘揚淨土法門。虛雲老和尚雖然講禪，也講淨土法門的道理。
Namo Amitabha!
