Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
If a person has Amitabha’s life in his heart, he can accept the Buddha’s heart as his own heart, and accept the Buddha’s conduct as his own conduct. He enjoys practicing virtues and forgiving others. All of this is because he feels the love and caring of Amitabha. Amitabha can forgive us, so we can forgive others. Moreover, it is because of Amitabha that we attain the splendid Land of Bliss, and our karmic debts accumulated in past eons are repaid.
Though we may love, care for, and forgive others; we should never forget that we acquire that love, caring, and forgiveness from Amitabha. Once we feel the love and forgiveness of Amitabha, we simply must love and forgive others. If we can’t, we do not truly know and realize Amitabha’s love and forgiveness.
(to be continued tomorrow)
人之內心若有彌陀的生命,自能以佛心為心,以佛行為行;喜行善事,樂恕人 。因為感受到彌陀愛護我們,使我們也會愛護他人;彌陀寬恕我們,使我們也會寬恕他人;更因獲得彌陀惠賜莊嚴的極樂,蒙受彌陀償還累劫的冤債之故。
人雖不能愛護、寬恕他人,亦能獲得彌陀的愛護與寬恕;人若一旦感受到彌陀的愛護與寬恕,也必能愛護、寬恕他人;若其不能愛護、寬恕他人,便是尚未體悟彌陀的愛護與寬恕。
Namo Amituofo!
