Master Huijing’s Short Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Amitabha’s Name is called “the great Name of ten thousand virtues.” Actually, the Chinese word “Wan” (ten thousand) is not a numerical number. It means “all-sufficient, perfect, transcendental, and complete.”
That is to say, the merits and virtues contained in Amitabha’s Name are all that is required to: transcend reincarnation within the Six Realms and all of the Bodhisattva stages, achieve rebirth in the Land of Bliss, and expedite our achievement of Buddhahood.
這句名號叫做「萬德洪名」。萬德洪名的「萬」不是數目字的百千萬的萬,而 是「具足、完滿、超越」的意思。
也就是往生成佛的功德,在這句名號中完全 圓滿、完全具足,而且使我們超越六道輪迴,一旦到極樂世界就能夠超越三賢 十聖而快速成佛。
Namo Amituofo!
