Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
Upon hearing Amitabha’s Name, he knows: the Land of Bliss exists, he should always recite Amitabha’s Name, and he also wishes to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. However, his aspiration for rebirth is not earnest enough, so he cannot be reborn in this life.
Amitabha Buddha does not give up on such a person; but, waits until the ideal conditions arrive, guides him to arouse the true mind, earnest aspiration, and recite Amitabha’s Name for rebirth. If he cannot be reborn in this life, he will be reborn in the next life, or soon thereafter. This explains the 20th Vow, which is called the Vow of Making Karmic Connection. He has already made the karmic connection with Amitabha and Amitabha will never forsake him.

有人這一輩子聽到彌陀的名號，曉得有極樂世界，平常也念念佛，也想往生極樂世界，但是願生心並不真切，所以這輩子沒有往生。
這樣的人阿彌陀佛也沒有放棄他，一直在等待機緣，引導他生起真切願生心來念佛而往生極樂世界，這輩子不成，下輩子，下輩子不成，下下輩子……，所以第二十願叫做「結緣願」，已跟彌陀結了往生之因緣，彌陀就永不放棄。
Namo Amituofo!
