Master Huijing’s Short Teachings on Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
(continued)
The above passages about the splendors of Pure Land Buddhism are quoted from the writings of the past patriarchs. So, the Pure Land teachings can be regarded as: the simplest and easiest, the most secure, the most direct, and the most “round” and “sudden”. It is the foremost among all kinds of expedient means, unsurpassed in its ultimate meaning, and extremely “round” and “sudden” .
The teaching of Amitabha’s deliverance through recitation of his Name, is difficult to encounter in a thousand years, or even ten thousand eons. Now, we finally have the chance to hear it! We should be grateful for our past karma, believe and accept this teaching, and fully commit to walking this Path until the end of our lives.
以上這些是古德對淨土超勝之記述。故淨土一門可謂：至簡易、至穩當、至直截、至圓頓；方便中第一方便，了義中無上了義，圓頓中最極圓頓。
如是彌陀救度，念佛法門，千生叵遇，萬劫難逢；既獲見聞，遠慶宿緣，決定信受，終身不渝。
Namo Amituofo!
