Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
To become a Buddha, one must boundlessly and endlessly practice giving in many lives. In order to deliver sentient beings of the ten directions to be reborn and become buddhas, Dhamakara in his causal ground, cultivated the Six Paramitas and a myriad of other practices. What did he do for us? In the ninth fascicle of the Sutra of the Compassionate Flower, it tells us how Dharmakara practiced giving for every one of us.
Amitabha Buddha shares his eyes with us, as many as the sands in the Ganges River. The Ganges is a great river in India. (One grain of sand represents one pair of eyes that Amitabha Buddha shares with us).
(to be continued)
成佛是要生生世世、無窮無盡地行布施。阿彌陀佛在因地時,為了救度十方眾生、為了十方眾生都能往生成佛,而修菩薩六度萬行,祂為我們做的布施是什麼?在《悲華經》第九卷裏面,大意是這麼講的:阿彌陀佛為我們每一位怎樣來行布施呢?
阿彌陀佛為我們布施的眼睛,如一恒河沙那樣多(恒河是印度的一條大河,其中每粒沙就表示阿彌陀佛為我們布施的一雙眼睛,那所布施的,就有恆河沙那麼多) 。
Namo Amituofo!
