Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
There are two kinds of ignorance, general and particular. General ignorance refers to the “no-beginning” ignorance, and particular ignorance refers to doubt in Amitabha.
If we understand the meaning of Amitabha’s Name thoroughly, we can eradicate these doubts and have faith in Amitabha. With the commencement of faith in Amitabha, the particular ignorance is cleared. Once the particular ignorance is cleared, general ignorance will eventually be cleared upon rebirth in the Land of Bliss.
This means that we should clear our doubt in Amitabha in the Land of Saha first, then our general ignorance will naturally be cleared once we are reborn in the Land of Bliss.
無明有總的無明及別的無明,總的無明就是無始的無明;別的無明就是對彌陀的懷疑。
我們對彌陀名號理解貫通,就能破除對彌陀的懷疑而生信,對彌陀啟信,別的無明就會消除。別的無明消除, 往生之後總的無明也會消除。
意即在此娑婆世界先破對彌陀懷疑的別無明,一旦往生極樂,自然能破總無明。
Namo Amituofo!
