Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
(continued)
The ancient monks of the Japanese Pure Land School described those following the 20th Vow as like “a fish on the hook that will not stay in the water for long”. It means, a fish swallows a hook; though it is still in the water, it will be pulled to the shore in one day.
In this lifetime, though you may not genuinely believe and earnestly aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, you will be hooked and pulled by Amitabha to the shore of the Land of Bliss in one day, because you have made a karmic connection with Amitabha.
日本淨土宗的古代大德形容第二十願是「吞鉤之魚，在水不久」，意思是說，好像吞了鉤的魚，即使現在仍留在水裏，可是終有一天會被拉上岸來的。
這一輩子雖然你沒有真切願生極樂世界，可是既然跟彌陀結緣了，總有一天會被彌陀鉤往極樂世界的岸上的。
Namo Amituofo!
