Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
Being drawn to learn this teaching in this life is generally the result of our reliance of the 20th Vow in past lives. Master Shandao referred to the Infinite Life and Equal Enlightenment Sutra, and said,” He might have practiced this teaching in past lives, and as he listened to this teaching again in this life, he was delighted immediately.”
Many people wonder whether they can be reborn through Amitabha-recitation. There must be a cause if a person practices Amitabha-recitation diligently since his youth in this lifetime. However, if he recited Amitabha’s Name in past lives, why is he still living in the Land of Saha? It is the content of the 20th Vow.
此生我們學個法，通常都是依靠過去世二十願的願力來的。善導大師引用《無量壽平等覺經》說：「過去已曾修習此法，今得重聞即生歡喜」。
往往有人疑惑：念佛能往生嗎？今生今世、從年輕就精進念佛到現在，可見不是沒有因，但是既然過去有念佛，為什麼現在還在娑婆世界呢？這就是二十願的的內容。
Namo Amituofo!
