Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
There are three kinds of teachings mentioned in the Infinite Life Sutra. What are the three?
(1) Rebirth through various practices,
(2) Rebirth through assisted Amitabha-recitation and
(3) Rebirth solely through Amitabha-recitation.
Upon hearing what the Infinite Life Sutra says , some practitioners may hesitate and doubt. Which one should be practiced? If we read a passage in the Chapter on Dissemination, we know the answer. The text is basically telling us to renounce rebirth through various practices, rebirth through assisted Amitabha-recitation, and simply advocates rebirth through exclusive Amitabha-recitation in accordance with the Fundamental vow. We know this because the text only says – recite Namo Amituofo, and none of the other teachings.
《無量壽經》有三種法門，哪三種呢？有諸行往生、助念佛往生、單念佛往生 這三種。
一些修行者看到《無量壽經》這麼說，難免就猶豫不決，「到底要專修哪個法 門？」可是到了〈流通分〉這段文的時候就顯現出來了，〈流通分〉這段文等 同捨掉了助念佛往生及諸行往生的法，而獨舉「本願稱名」，因為這段〈流通 文〉只說念「南無阿彌陀佛」，沒有說其他法門。
Namo Amituofo!
