Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Infinite Life Sutra
《佛說無量壽經》
( continued)
Master Shandao says in the “Dharma School of Contemplation and Recitation”: “The aptitudes and capacities of all sentient beings are different, classified into high, medium, and low tiers. The Buddha urges them to exclusively recite the Name of the Buddha of Infinite Life according to their aptitude and capacity. The Buddha and a multitude of sagely beings will come to receive them when they are close to death, so that all of them can attain rebirth.
善導大師在《觀念法門》說：「佛說一切眾生，根性不同，有上中下；隨其根性，佛皆勸專念無量壽佛名；其人命欲終時，佛與聖眾，自來迎接，盡得往生。」從善導大師的解釋，可以了解，世尊在這裡說三輩的目的，就是要引導他們來專念無量壽佛名。
Namo Amituofo!
