Master Huijing’s Short Teachings - Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
“Don’t be surprised by transcending the Ten Bodhisattva Stages through reciting Amitabha’s Name even once. You should know the Six Characters include all of the teachings of the Three Vehicles.” As said by Master Yinguang.
Master Yinguang teaches us not to doubt, nor be surprised that the single practice of reciting this one Name – Namo Amituofo, can transcend the Ten Grounds of the Bodhisattvas without needing to practice for three Great Asaṃkhyeyakalpas. One should know the attributes of this Six Character Great Name contain a myriad of virtues, greater than those of the Three Vehicles - Sravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas. (even the Bodhisattvas of Equal enlightenment)
「莫訝一稱超十地，須知六字括三乘。」這是印光大師所講的。
印光大師說不要懷疑驚訝單念這一聲「南無阿彌陀佛」就能夠超越十地，不必經過三大阿僧祇劫，應該知道這六字萬德洪名的功能是含蓋聲聞、緣覺、菩薩等三乘而直至等覺的功德的。
Namo Amituofo!
