Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
We can see the benefits to sentient beings through Amitabha’s deliverance through the following four different kinds of sensual calling and responses: smooth deliverance, inverse deliverance, conspicuous deliverance, and hidden deliverance.
1. smooth deliverance – such as recovering from illness or getting what we wish
2. inverse deliverance – such as receiving early death upon request for longevity. We don’t get what we wish for.
3. conspicuous deliverance – Amitabha appears, and sagely beings protect, because of reciting Amitabha’s Name
4. hidden deliverance – having good times with the help of others, and enjoying a harmonious life because of reciting Amitabha’s Name.
If we know the different scenarios in sensual calling and responses, we should understand and deeply believe in Amitabha’s ability to benefit sentient beings. Even when we experience adverse circumstances and unfavorable situations, we have no doubts, relax, rejoice, and are grateful.
由此四種感應可以看出彌陀救度、利益眾生，有順度、逆度、顯度、隱度的不同。
一、順度：求疾得痊，所求遂意。
二、逆度：求壽反夭，所求不遂。
三、顯度：因念佛故，或得彌陀現身，聖眾垂護。
四、隱度：因念佛故，或得人事湊合，機緣相助。
能知以上感應之理，則理明信深，即使遇到任何惡緣逆境，也能當下了然無惑 ，而生歡喜感恩之心。
Namo Amituofo!
