Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Taking Refuge to Amitabha
皈命彌陀
Our Principal Buddha is Namo Amitabha Buddha. Principal Buddha should be only one, because, for faith, Principal Buddha is the most fundamental and the most important one, so it is not possible to have two or three.
It is special that the Land of Bliss is built by Amitabha, and the vows to deliver sentient beings are made by Amitabha. And, the reason why we can leave the Land of Saha and be reborn in the Land of Bliss is solely due to the accomplishment of Amitabha alone. So, the Principal Buddha of our teaching is only one Buddha – Namo Amitabha Buddha. Whatever we recite, we bow, we praise, we make offering, or we perceive, we contemplate, it is single and exclusive - Namo Amitabha Buddha.
我們的本尊，就是南無阿彌陀佛，本尊是獨一無二的。因為「本尊」是信仰中最根本最重要的，是只可有一，不可能有二有三。
尤其是極樂世界是彌陀所建的，救度眾生的願是彌陀所發的，我們之所以能夠離開娑婆往生極樂，也是單單由於彌陀一佛獨自成就，所以我們這個法門的本尊，只有南無阿彌陀佛一佛，無論是稱念、禮拜、讚歎、供養，或者思惟、觀想，都是專一南無阿彌陀佛。
Namo Amitabha!
