Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
Historically, there was one Buddha who appeared on Earth. This was Shakyamuni Buddha. However, there are infinite Buddhas in the worlds of the ten directions. Taking refuge in the Triple Gems means: First- taking refuge in the Buddha. It is an honor and great fortune to take Shakyamuni Buddha and all Buddhas in the ten directions as our teachers.
Second - taking refuge in the Dharma. All sutras spoken by Shakyamuni Buddha (which are the truths of the universe and life, and the aims and methods of cultivation.) Upon hearing the Dharma: we understand the law of cause and effect, practice good and avoid evil, attain happiness and depart from suffering. We escape from the burning house of the Three Domains and leave the sea of suffering in the Six Realms forever. We achieve Buddhahood by realizing the stillness of Nirvana.
在歷史上出現在我們地球上的佛是釋迦牟尼佛，而十方世界亦有無量諸佛。皈 依三寶，第一是皈依佛，以釋尊及十方諸佛為老師，可說光榮之至，慶幸之極。
法──釋尊所說的經典，亦即宇宙人生的真理，修行的目標與方法。聞法修行，能明因識果，去惡行善，離苦得樂，脫出三界火宅，永離六道苦海，證悟涅槃寂靜而成佛。
Namo Amituofo!
