Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge to Amitabha
皈命彌陀
If we don’t know how seriously ill we are , we will not be thankful for a good doctor. If we don’t know how serious our afflictions are, we shall not be thankful for the deep grace of Shakyamuni, Amitabha, and the good advisor.
We should be happy to experience disease in our body or mind. Through experiencing a more serious disease, we offer more sympathy to others. In arousing a more compassionate mind, we more deeply understand Amitabha. Knowing compassion, we are inspired by Buddha’s compassion and kindness.
不知我病之重，則不能感謝高明的醫生。不知煩惱病重，則不能感謝釋迦、彌陀、善知識的深恩。
慶哉我身之病！越感自身苦，越愍同苦人；越生悲愍心，越知彌陀佛。知悲者，能悟佛之慈悲。喜哉我心之病！
Namo Amituofo!
