Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
How can we be fully intimate with Amitabha Buddha? We are unable to perceive Amitabha’s compassion, we are unable to perceive Amitabha’s wisdom (which is a Buddha realm), we are unable to understand Amitabha’s good marks in the form of light. We are unable to contemplate for Amitabha’s merit and virtues, and we are unable to understand Amitabha’s infinite power.
However, because of Amitabha’s Name with a myriad of virtues, and because the “Name is the teaching” and the “Name is the body”, we can recite the Name, and immediately connect with Amitabha’s body in substance.
(to be continued)
我們凡夫怎麼跟阿彌陀佛親,跟阿彌陀佛近呢?阿彌陀佛的慈悲,我們也思惟不來;阿彌陀佛的智慧,是佛的境界,我們也理解不來;阿彌陀佛的相好光明,我們也觀想不來;阿彌陀佛的功德,阿彌陀佛的神力,我們更不能理解。
可是因為南無阿彌陀佛這一句萬德洪名,是「名即法」,是「名即體」,所以稱念這一句名號,就跟祂的本體互相感通道交,祂的本體就會顯現,所謂「應聲即現」,因為這一句彌陀名號,是名即體。
Namo Amituofo!
