Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
“Sentient beings who recite the Buddha’s Name are embraced and received without forsaking.” When we recite Amitabha’s Name without forsaking, Amitabha embraces us without forsaking. It is the interaction of the Way of responding to each other.
Sentient beings who aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and exclusively recite Amitabha’s Name, will be embraced by Amitabha’s light forever. The light will allow them, near the end-of-life, to see a multitude of sacred beings and be directly transported to the Land of Bliss.
From now until rebirth, and near the end-of-life, We are embraced by Amitabha Buddha’s light, without any retrogression or obstruction. This is why Amitabha’s light is called the “Unobstructed Light”.
「念佛眾生,攝取不捨」,我們念佛念念不捨,阿彌陀佛攝取不捨,彼此感應道交。
這種眾生,願生極樂,專稱佛名,永遠都在彌陀的光明攝取當中。臨終的時候,光明就會讓他看得到聖眾,然後當下直接迎接他到極樂世界。
所以從現在開始,一直到臨終往生,都在阿彌陀佛的光明當中,永不退墮,不受障礙,因為阿彌陀佛的光明是「無礙光」。
Namo Amituofo!
