Master Huijing’s Short Teachings on Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Through Name-recitation, we attain the state of non-retrogression immediately. We don’t need cultivation through diligent practices or insight through intensive meditative practices. We take Amitabha’s enlightenment in the fruition
ground as our aspiration to rebirth in the causal ground. The cause of rebirth permeates the sea of rewards and the effect of those rewards penetrates to the of cause of our suffering.
We are perfectly enlightened at that moment, full and complete without any deficiency. Those of the highest in the high tier cannot exceed its sill, and those of the lowest in the low tier can reach its district.
‧All people can practice and be rewarded. It universally benefits people of virtuous roots in the three tiers. All those with smart or dim aptitude are accepted. It is an absolutely perfect, inclusive, and inconceivable teaching. It embraces both the laws and the phenomena with nothing missing. It exceeds all schools and teachings with no exceptions, because it perfectly accepts and perfectly transcends all kinds of teachings.
‧The profundity of Huayen teachings, the mysteries of Fahua teachings, the essence of all Buddhas, and the compass for all Bodhisattva teachings originate from this one transcendent teaching.

‧只要稱名念佛，即得徑登不退，無藉劬勞修證，不必觀想參；以果地覺，為因地心；因該果海，果徹因源；當下圓明，無欠無餘；上上根不能逾其閫，下下機亦能臻其域。
‧人人可修，人人可證；三根普被，利鈍全收；絕待圓融，不可思議；攝事理以無遺，統宗教而無外。圓收圓超一切法門。
‧華嚴奧藏，法華秘髓，一切諸佛之心要，菩薩萬行之司南，皆不出於此矣！
Namo Amituofo!
