Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
(continued)
As long as we are willing to accept Amitabha’s deliverance, all will receive Amitabha’s merits and virtues. Amitabha Buddha is always with us. He protects us forever.
However, if we cover up the mirror-like mind and doubt the existence of Amitabha Buddha, the Land of Bliss, or the easiness of accompanying Amitabha, it is a great loss for us. It is like those who forget their karmic debts and lack of aptitude and only believe in self-power. It is similar to the sun shining over the earth. It shines on tall trees as well as each blade of grass, and monastics as well as householders.
However, if we hide in a cave or inside a room, how can we have an interaction with the sun?
只要我們願意接受阿彌陀佛的救度,人人心中就都有阿彌陀佛的功德,阿彌陀佛就跟你我同在一起,同出同入、同睡覺、同工作,永遠保護我們。
可是如果我們把自己的心水蓋住了,懷疑哪有阿彌陀佛?哪有極樂世界?哪有那麼容易?天下沒有白吃的午餐呀!這樣的話,就自失大利了;這就如同太陽普照大地,照大樹也照小草,照出家人也照在家人,照會修行的也照不會修行的,但是如果你自己一直躲在洞中、屋內,那麼,太陽就跟你沒有交集了。
Namo Amituofo!
