Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
(continued)
It is because of karmic force that we involuntarily act in unwholesome ways. It is also because of karmic force that we do not do things that we should do, not because we lack kindness.
So, we Amitabha-reciters should always feel regretful , avoid arrogance, and deviant views. Knowing these acts are involuntary, we should be thankful for Amitabha’s grace and deliverance. Amitabha Buddha already knows our karmic obstructions and afflictions. That is why he embraces and protects us with his unobstructed light. In so doing, he assures that we will not be hindered by various kinds of karma.
「諸惡莫作」卻偏偏會去做，這是身不由己，是業力的推動；「眾善奉行」，我們應該做但沒有去做，並非沒有那種善心，還是業力的關係。
所以，念佛的我們，要常懷慚愧，不起驕慢，不生邪見。既知是身不由己，就要仰謝佛恩，感謝阿彌陀佛的救度。因為阿彌陀佛早知道我們念佛的人有煩惱業障，所以，阿彌陀佛以無礙的光明來攝取我們、保護我們，讓我們不受種種業的障礙。
Namo Amituofo!
