Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
As a Buddhist, we should follow what the Buddha taught in the precepts, and take them as the basic disciplines in the three actions (karma) in our daily life. So, whether it is the Sagely Path or the Pure Land Path, we should go forward towards purity, and aim to become a Buddha. We should do our best in living the precepts. If we don’t understand this concept, we are not Buddhists.
Furthermore, in attempting to live the precepts, we find what we want to do and know what we should do, but cannot. Though we would like to do it, our habitual behaviors obstruct us. We have no way to subdue these habits on our own; so, we need to rely on Amitabha’s deliverance. If this is what we are experiencing, we have “deep faith in aptitude.”

我們是一個學佛的人，必須依照佛所講的戒作為我們三業以及生活的基本規範。所以，不管聖道門也好，淨土門也好，基本上都要有向上、向淨、學佛而成佛之心，都希望能做好佛陀所要求的戒律，如果沒有這一種觀念，就不是學佛人了。
再進一步，他發現自己有心無力，應該做而做不到，心雖有所嚮往，可是業障來了，習氣來了，沒辦法降伏，所以才需要歸入彌陀的救度，如果是這樣的話，就有機的深信。
Namo Amituofo!
