Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Amitabha-reciters are dependents of Amitabha Buddha in the Pure Land (just like children with the same blood line as their parents). Thus it is said, “We are originally Amitabha-reciters, and we grow from the same root.” We should love each other and be as close as siblings.
As we are Amitabha’s dependents in the Pure Land, and siblings of the same school, we should respect, and not slight each other, should get close to and not distance each other, should forgive and not criticize each other, should help and care about each other.
念佛人同是淨土眷屬,猶如兄弟,同秉父母(彌陀)氣血所生,可謂「本皆念 佛人,本皆同根生」,理宜互相友愛,情同手足。
既是淨土眷屬,也是同門師 兄弟,彼此要互相尊重不相輕視,相親近不相疏遠,相體諒不相批評,相幫助不相袖手。
Namo Amituofo!
