Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
Master Shandao says, “That Buddha's light shines boundlessly and without hindrance over all the worlds of the ten quarters; but, only embraces exclusive Amitabha-reciters, to protect and receive them without forsaking. It is for this reason that he is called Amitabha.”
Boundless and unhindered light seeks only Amitabha-reciters, and, at the same time, protects them and never leaves them. When they are close to death, Amitabha appears and delivers them to the Land of Infinite Light. This is the meaning of Amitabha.
善導大師說：「彼佛光明無量，照十方國，無所障礙，唯觀念佛眾生攝取不捨，故名阿彌陀。」
無量、無礙的光明，只是在尋找念佛的眾生，同時，保護他、救度他、永不離開他，一直到他臨終，一定要使他進入無量光明土——這就是「阿彌陀」的意義。
Namo Amituofo!
