Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《 佛說無量壽經》
For people of the Three Tiers (as taught in the lesser fascicle of the Infinite Life Sutra) ,though the aptitudes of those in the three tiers is different, all of them rely on the merits and virtues of Amitabha’s Name, in order to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and attain the stage of becoming a Buddha After-One-More-Life.
If the people of the upper tier rely on their own wisdom and aptitude for rebirth (same as the middle and lower tier), and they do not let go of their attachments, and entirely rely on the merits and virtues of Amitabha’s Name for rebirth, they are of course, to be reborn in the Land of Bliss in different grades and levels.
(to be continued tomorrow)
《無量壽經.下卷》所講的三輩,是強調雖然三輩根機各不相同,可是都要完全依靠彌陀名號的功德才能到極樂世界,並且平等的得到一生補處的果位。
如果上輩依靠上輩的智慧根機,中輩、下輩也都各依靠他們的根機,不放下自己的執著而完完全全依靠彌陀名號功德的話,到了極樂世界當然就會有品位階級的不同。
Namo Amituofo!
