Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Contemplation Sutra
《佛說觀無量壽經》
To depart from the Three Wretched Realms and the Six Realms is not easy. However, even people with extremely heavy karmic offenses, no virtues, and practices, can transcend to be reborn in the Land of Bliss by reciting the Buddha’s Name, while they are still alive in the Saha world. It is a matter beyond the knowledge and understanding of ordinary people.
The purpose of the Contemplation Sutra is to reveal Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow, set forth for ordinary beings. Through total reliance on Amitabha’s deliverance through his Fundamental Vow, all can be reborn in the Land of Bliss, with no further reincarnations.
遠離三塗六道的輪迴豈是易事?然而極重惡人,無善無行,但念佛名,亦得長揖娑婆,高超極樂。如是之事,迥出凡夫知見。
《觀經》的目的正是在顯彰「彌陀本願、凡夫為本」;完全依靠彌陀本願的救度,則不論一切善惡凡夫,都能往生極樂,不再輪迴。
Namo Amituofo!
