Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
(continued)
“Becoming soft through contact with light” is a natural law. So, a person who commits offenses throughout his entire life can also be embraced by Amitabha’s light.( if he can believe in and accept Amitabha’s deliverance) It is natural to change a person from being evil to being kind.
(Strictly speaking, among iniquitous and delusive sentient beings, who hasn’t committed offenses in the past countless eons? The debts we owe others are immeasurable. So, it is not that we forgive others; but, ask others to forgive us.)
「觸光柔軟」乃是法爾自然之理,故一生造惡之機,信受彌陀救度,蒙光攝護,便能「轉惡成善」,這是自然之事。(剋實而論,罪惡生死凡夫,曠劫以來,何罪不造,何怨不結?負人之債,不可稱量;所以不是自己寬恕他人,乃是請求他人寬恕自己。)
Namo Amituofo!
