Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View of Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
Not only accomplishing a self-benefitting Real Mark Body through the realization of the Real Mark, Amitabha also attained the Body of Benefitting sentient beings in the
ten Directions. Thus, we see that the purpose of his self-benefitting is to be capable of thoroughly benefitting others.
So, the body of Amitabha Buddha is solely for benefitting sentient beings. Therefore, it is called the Body for Other’s Enjoyment. The merits and virtues attained through
the accomplishment of Buddhahood are not only enjoyed by Amitabha Buddha ; but, are also shared with sentient beings of the ten directions for their enjoyment.
That is to say, the vows that Amitabha made, the practices that Amitabha cultivated, the perfect and complete retribution that Amitabha was rewarded, are sentient beings’ vows, sentient beings’ practices, and sentient beings’ retributive reward.
阿彌陀佛不止證悟了實相而成為自利的「實相身」,自利的目的是為了能夠徹底地利他,故阿彌陀佛也成為救度十方眾生的「為物身」。
因此阿彌陀佛全部都是利益眾生之身,這個叫做「他受用身」,不止是成佛的功德阿彌陀佛受用,也是要給十方眾生受用的。
也就是說,阿彌陀佛在因地所發的願、所修的行、所圓滿的果報,就是我們眾生的願、眾生的行、眾生的果報。
Namo Amituofo!
