Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
Do we have greed, anger and delusion? Do we have false and miscellaneous thoughts? If we don’t, we are already Arhats! If Amitabha’s targets of deliverance are Arhats, his vows that he took five eons to conceive, and his practices that he took countless eons to cultivate, will be meaningless. Isn’t it so?
It is because Arhats can liberate themselves from Samsara within the Three Domains and the Six Realms. Why do they need to be delivered by Amitabha Buddha? It is because we are sentient beings in the world of Fivefold Turbidity that we have to be delivered by Amitabha Buddha.
(to be continued tomorrow)
我們有沒有貪瞋癡？有沒有妄想雜念？如果沒有貪瞋癡、妄想雜念，那就是阿羅漢了！阿彌陀佛若是為了救阿羅漢，經過五劫的思惟來發願，經過兆載永劫來修行，豈不是沒有意義嗎？
因為阿羅漢本身就可以離開三界六道輪迴，何必要阿彌陀佛救度？所以阿彌陀佛要救度的是五濁的眾生。
Namo Amituofo!
