Master Huijing’s Short Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
In general Buddhist teachings, one’s own power and skills are required to leave the Three Domains, and completely accomplish the Buddhist Way. Only Pure Land is a teaching of total reliance on Amitabha’s deliverance through devotion. Because of reliance on Amitabha’s deliverance through devotion, all people can leave the endless cycle of birth and death within the Six Realms. They will be reborn in the Land of Bliss, where their full realization of Buddhahood will be expedited. It doesn’t matter if they have their own power and skills or not.
一般法門都必須靠自己的力量、功夫來脫出三界,乃至圓成佛道。唯有淨土法門,是完全仰仗阿彌陀佛的救度。也由於是仰仗阿彌陀佛的救度,所以不管自己有力量、沒力量,有功夫、沒功夫,人人都能脫離六道生死輪迴,人人都能往生極樂世界而快速證入佛果。
