Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Specially seek the clean and bright teaching for endowing benefits to all sentient beings. Through accomplishing the full and complete Land of Bliss, and accomplishing the Buddha Body to save us, Amitabha Buddha sought the clean and bright teaching.
The money we earn in the world, all things we do are not clean and bright, as they are tainted with greed, anger, delusion, defilement, and poison.
Amitabha Buddha has no awareness of desire, no awareness of hatred, and no awareness of harm. He also dwells in the Dharma of Emptiness, No-Mark, and No-Vow. That means he has: no greed, hatred, delusion, ignorance, or attachment. The Dharma he sought is, of course, clean and bright.
The clean and bright Dharma is not for his own and self-benefitting, but for benefitting others, so it is said, “for endowing benefits to all sentient beings”
(to be continued)
「專求清白之法,以惠利群生」:阿彌陀佛為了圓滿極樂世界,為了成就佛身救度我們,祂所求的是清白之法。
我們世間所賺的錢、所做的事情,都不是清白的,都是有漏的、有貪瞋癡的、污染的、有毒素的。
阿彌陀佛既然沒有「欲覺、瞋覺、害覺」,而且「住空、無相、無願之法」,也就是沒有貪瞋癡,沒有無明執著,當然所求的法都是清白之法。
清白之法都不是為了祂自身,自利是為了利他,所以說「以惠利群生」。
Namo Amituofo!
