Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
A Buddhist may see a Buddha in a dream, or during sitting meditation, or Amitabha-recitation. They may also see the Buddha and Bodhisattvas appear and save them from danger. All these are normal responses; but, they are not equal to the two kinds of deep faith( in aptitude and in teaching).
It is because “entering faith by seeing the Buddha” or “attaining perseverance by seeing the Buddha” merely imply that, due to the aptitude of an Amitabha-reciter, he sees the compassionate mind of Amitabha thoroughly. This is so the Amitabha-reciter has a determinant faith in Amitabha’s compassionate vow of guaranteed rebirth through Name-recitation.
學佛者或有夢中見佛、靜坐中見佛、念佛中見佛，甚或危難中蒙佛菩薩現身解救，這些都是尋常感應，與機法二種深信不可等同而語。
是故，「見佛入信」 或「見佛得忍」是唯指念佛之機，徹見彌陀悲心，於稱名必生之彌陀悲願決定 深信而言。
Namo Amituofo!
