Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths 淨土宗宗風俗諦
(continued)
I have introduced a verse as follows: May I always contemplate my mind. When an affliction is about to arise in my mind, that may hurt myself and others, I should forcefully cut it off immediately.
From the point of view of our Pure Land teaching, contemplating our mind means always holding this one single Name in our mind. However, it is inevitable to have false thoughts. When false thoughts arise, we simply take note of them, and return to recitation of Amitabha’s Name.
我曾向大家介紹一首偈子，就是： 願我恆常觀自心，正當煩惱初萌生， 危害自己他人時，立即強行令斷除。
對我們念佛法門來講，是時時刻刻、心心念念都在這一句佛號上。當然難免會 打妄想，打妄想的時候就觀照，然後又回歸到念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
