Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
(continued)
In the Chapter on Dissemination, there are four main points in the transmission given by Shakyamuni Buddha to Maitreya Bodhisattva:
1. One will attain great benefit with sufficient unsurpassed merits and virtues by merely reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha.
2. No matter how much in pain we are, we must strive to hear this teaching. Even if we had to jump over a sea on fire, the merits and virtues received are so great, it would be worth it. Many Bodhisattvas have no opportunity to hear it. If someone can hear this teaching, he will not retrogress, and will be assured of becoming a Buddha.
3. To keep this teaching of Amitabha’s deliverance existent in the universe forever. Even in the period between the extinction of one Buddha and the descent of another Buddha in the human world, continue to disseminate the teaching and transmit it on and on.
4. It is extremely difficult matter for a person who can hear this teaching, and can further believe it.
在〈流通分〉中，釋迦牟尼佛叮嚀交代彌勒菩薩的內容，大約有四點：
第一，只要念南無阿彌陀佛，就可以得到大利，具足無上的功德。
第二，再怎麼樣的苦，即使要跳過火海，我們也要去聽聞這個法，因為它的功德太大了，是很值得的。有很多的菩薩要聽聞都聽聞不到的，如果有人能夠聽聞到這一個法門，這個人就不會退轉，一定會成佛。
第三，要將這個彌陀救度法門永遠保留在宇宙當中，即使前一位佛涅槃了，下一位佛還沒有降生人間，也都要使這個法門永遠流傳下去。
第四，能夠聽聞到這個法，進一步相信這個法，這是非常非常困難的一件事情。
Namo Amituofo!
