Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
There are two kinds of Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness - the Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness in the meditative state, and the Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness in the non-meditative state.
The Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness in the meditative state means the practitioner can see the Buddha during the practice of Buddha-Mindfulness in the meditativestate. It is very difficult to accomplish this, and it is very rare in our history.
The Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness in the non-meditative state means the practitioner aspires to be reborn in Amitabha’s Pure Land, and exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, (without doubt, without interruption and without mixing other practices.) As it is not in the meditative state, it is called the Samadhi of Buddha-Mindfulness in the non-meditative state.
念佛三昧有兩種:定的念佛三昧與散的念佛三昧。
定的念佛三昧是念佛念到入禪定,定中見佛。這非常的難,古來少有。
散的念佛三昧是願生彌陀淨土,專稱彌陀佛名,不懷疑、不間斷、不夾雜,這也是三昧,但因不是入禪定,故稱為散的念佛三昧。
Namo Amituofo!
