Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
With respect to sensual calling and response, there is not a few in other religions and primitive beliefs. If we advocate sensual calling and response in Buddhism, what is the difference with others? It may easily guide other people to suspicion, so that they may easily fall into the deviant drench.
So, we must follow up any account of Amitabha-recitation with the correct teaching, and point out the great way of ultimate emancipation. If we understand the principle and believe deeply, we do not attach and care whether there is response in an account of Amitabha-recitation. If not, we cannot make use the expedient means to teach others, but producing an unfavorable karmic condition of falling [into the wretched realms].
若論感應，其他宗教，乃至民間之鬼神信仰，亦復不少；若佛教也以感應為崇尚，則與之何異，不只易引人入迷信之途，且易陷人落邪外之坑。
故靈應之後必須輔之以教理，指出究竟解脫的光明大道。理明信深，則感應之有無，毫無執礙；否則不啻非化導的方便，更是沈淪的惡緣。
Namo Amituofo!
