Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Contemplation Sutra
《佛說觀無量壽經》
If we unfold the meaning of the Contemplation Sutra in sequence, till the Chapter on Dissemination at the end, there exists a “taste” of “abandonment and establishment”. To abandon means to renounce and discard. To establish means to follow and practice.
If we follow the three procedures on abandonment and establishment, adopted by the ancient great teachers, they are so-called: “expedient teachings built (or formed) for the sake of the real teaching”, “the expedient teaching revealed while the real teaching appears”, and “the real teaching established when the expedient teachings are abandoned”.
(to be continued tomorrow)
如果從《觀無量壽經》的展開順序,到最後〈流通分〉來講,有一種「廢、立」的意味。「廢」就是要捨掉的,「立」就是要奉行的。
如果依古代大德用三種方式解釋廢立過程的話,就是所謂的:「為實施權」、「開權顯實」、「廢權立實」。
Namo Amituofo!
