Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
When we are reborn in the Land of Bliss we will realize the Bodhisattva stage of Equal Enlightenment. This is not without a reason. The reason is not because of our accumulated merit and virtues from countless lives, through the Bodhisattva practices of the Six Paramitas, or due to a myriad of our own other practices, but entirely because of Amitabha!
On behalf of sentient beings in the ten directions, Amitabha Buddha cultivates and accumulates immeasurable virtuous practices, and stores all merit and virtues in his six syllable Name, which he gives us unconditionally. So, upon rebirth in the Land of Bliss through Amitabha-recitation, we can enter the stage of Equal Enlightenment (becoming a Buddha in one more lifetime).

往生極樂世界當下就能夠證入等覺菩薩，這不是沒有原因的，這個原因，當然 不是靠我們自己過去世無量劫以來已經累積的菩薩六度萬行，完全是因為阿彌 陀佛。
阿彌陀佛兆載永劫以來，就為十方眾生積植菩薩無量德行，將全部的功德累積 在六字名號當中，然後全部白白的送給我們。所以我們是因稱念彌陀的萬德洪 名，往生極樂世界才能當下進入一生補處。
Namo Amituofo!
