Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Taking Refuge to Amitabha
皈命彌陀
“Taking refuge” means “returning”, “relying” and “trusting”, so as to have peace and security in his care. We place our trust in Amitabha to rescue us from the sea of sufferings and reincarnation, and carry us to the Other Shore. To conclude, when we take refuge in the Three Jewels, we are taking refuge in“Namo Amitabha Buddha”. It is because, all Buddhas of the ten directions and Shakyamuni Buddha, urge us and guide us to ultimately rely on “Namo Amitabha Buddha”.
所謂「皈」就是「歸投」；「依」就是依靠祂，信任祂，在祂懷中得到安穩，這樣他就能夠登上彼岸，解脫生死輪迴的苦難。總結而言，我們皈依三寶其實就是皈依「南無阿彌陀佛」。
因為無論是十方諸佛或是釋迦牟尼佛出現在這個娑婆世界，都是要勸導我們、引導我們最後歸投、依靠「南無阿彌陀佛」。
Namo Amitabha!
