Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings on Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
(continued)
“Amitabha is the King of all Buddhas”, as stated in the Infinite Life Sutra. Amitabha Buddha is also foremost in light. In the Infinite Life Sutra, it says, “His is the noblest among all kinds of light.” It also says, “The majestic light of the Buddha Amitayus is the most exalted. No other Buddha's light can match his.”
Amitabha is the Buddha of Infinite Life, Infinite Light, and Unimpeded Light. Amitabha Buddha delivers sentient beings in the ten directions proactively, equally, and unconditionally. He is also a Buddha who forms one entity with the aptitude of Amitabha-reciters and his teaching.
阿彌陀佛是諸佛之王的佛。《無量壽經》說:「阿彌陀佛是諸佛中之王也。」阿彌陀佛也是光中之尊的佛。《無量壽經》說:「光明中之極尊也。」又說:「威神光明最尊第一,諸佛光明所不能及。」
阿彌陀佛是無量壽佛、無量光佛、無礙光佛,是主動、平等、無條件救度十方眾生的佛,是跟念佛眾生機法一體的佛。
Namo Amituofo!
