Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
The relationship between Amitabha-reciters and Amitabha is close and intimate. It is not because we recite his Name that we are intimate, or because we have the Buddha-nature that makes us close, or because we set forth the Four Great Vows and practice the Six Paramitas.
It is because there is a Buddha among all Buddhas of the ten worlds, and the three periods of time, who made The Vow stating “if they are not reborn, I will not attain perfect Enlightenment”. Because of this he has the most intimate relationship with sentient beings in the ten directions.

我們念佛人跟阿彌陀佛親,不是因為我們念佛人念佛了,就跟阿彌陀佛親,或者是我們有佛性所以跟阿彌陀佛親,或者我們發四弘誓願、行六度萬行,所以就跟佛親,都不是這樣。
是因為在十方三世恆河沙數諸佛當中,有一尊佛祂為十方眾生發下了「若不生者,不取正覺」的願,所以才跟十方眾生有了這種親緣。
Namo Amituofo!
