Master Huijing’s Short Teachings about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
Master Jingzong had a very good speech. He said, “A person who truly believes and accepts Amitabha’s deliverance, exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, and aspires to rebirth in Amitabha’s Pure Land, must be reverent and humble. He cannot see his wholesomeness. He can only see his unwholesomeness. It is just like candle light that cannot be seen under sunlight. If a person can see the candle light, it means he is still in a dark room.”
So, a person with deep belief in aptitude and in teaching, only feels regret. He knows he is an iniquitous mortal being, who doesn’t feel he has any ability to practice or cultivate. Through Amitabha’s deliverance, a person should feel he is nothing special, even if he practices whatever he can.

淨宗法師有一段話談的很好，他說：「一個真正信受彌陀救度，專稱彌陀佛名，願生彌陀淨土的念佛人，他必定是一個恭敬謙卑的人，他看不到自己的善，他所看到的只是自己的惡，就像在太陽底下看不到蠟燭的光，如果還看到蠟燭的光，就表示還在黑暗的房子裡面。」
所以，對於一個信機信法的人，他只有自感慚愧，知道自己是一個罪惡生死的凡夫，他不會覺得自己能有任何修行。在阿彌陀佛的救度之下，即使能做什麼事，也會覺得沒有什麼了不起。
Namo Amituofo!
