Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
(continued)
Nevertheless, if we follow the method stated in the Lotus Sutra and aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, we are still following “the Difficult Path” that we ordinary beings simply cannot accomplish. This is because it is a realm of Bodhisattvas.
However, if we recite Amitabha’s name, we can also achieve the aim of the Lotus Sutra. The profound treasure of the Flower Garland Sutra and the mysterious essence of the Lotus sutra is Amitabha-recitation. So, we know that Pure Land teaching is the key teaching of all Buddhas.
“Key teaching” means the most important and the main aim of all Buddhas. They advocate and propagate Amitabha-recitation. They advise and urge us to recite Amitabha’s Name.
不過依《法華經》的方法修習，想往生極樂世界，終屬「難行道」，我們凡夫做不到，那是菩薩的境界。
但是，我們只要念佛，也可以達到《法華經》的目的。華嚴奧藏，法華秘髓，就是在念佛，由此可知，淨土法門為「一切諸佛之心要」。
心要，就是最重要的、主要的宗旨之所在，也就是一切諸佛的目的，就是弘揚念佛、勸導念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
