Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
In Pure Land teaching, we realize we bear heavy karmic obstructions, incapable of sufficient meditative practices to liberate ourselves from the Three domains, and the Six Realms. We must accept and receive Amitabha’s deliverance with deep gratitude. This is known as “belief in aptitude” and “belief in teaching.”
Belief in aptitude – aptitude refers to us. We believe and realize our karmic obstructions are heavy, and the nature of our evil is severe. Through accepting these truths, our minds become yielding and we become humble. In all matters, we will no longer be arrogant, argumentative, or critical.
A true Buddhist should realize this principle easily, because he will be fully exposed, and see his original face through the mirror of the Buddhist teachings. At that moment, he dares not see “himself”; but, feels deeply regretful and ashamed. This is
known as “deep belief in aptitude”.

淨土法門就是一方面體會自己業障深重，沒有能力修行，沒有能力了脫三界六道輪迴，必須領受阿彌陀佛愛心的救度，就是──「信機」跟「信法」。
信機，「機」就是自己，體悟、相信自己是罪業深重、惡性強盛的人。如此他的心就會柔軟、謙卑下來，凡事不會貢高我慢，不會去計較、批評、爭奪。
真正學佛的人，很容易體悟這個道理。因為學佛的人，若以法鏡來照自己，就會原形畢露，顯現自己的本來面目，那時候，我們連看都不敢看，會非常的慚愧，感覺非常的丟臉，這就是對機的深信。
Namo Amituofo!
