Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦

Whether he is a monastic or householder, a Buddhist should try to be calm and measured. All of his actions while walking, standing, sitting and lying down should be aligned with his internal mind. Each morning he can realize a spirit of serenity and a state of resonance during the practice of sitting Amitabha-recitation. ( either at home or in the Buddhist center)
With this realization, he should try to keep this temperament in dealing with people and matters. Under this circumstance, his speech will be more sincere and harmonious, and he will not argue, or suspect ulterior motives. The calmness in behavior is a manifestation of the serenity in mind.

學佛人,不管在家、出家,儘量要安詳、穩重,一方面從外面的行住坐臥來要求內心。另方面,可以晨起靜坐念佛,或者在佛堂靜坐念佛,念到比較相應的時候,也會體會到那一份寂靜的心靈。

有了這一種體會,就保持這種心境來為人處事。如果能保持這一種心境來為人行事的話,語言就會比較親切和藹,同時也比較不會計較、推論他人的動機,這是從內心的寂靜顯現行儀的安詳。

Namo Amituofo!
