Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Virtuous roots and aptitudes vary with each individual. However, those with great wisdom and those who are slow-witted find it relatively easy to accept and align with the 18th Vow.
This is because wise people have good comprehension and they understand and accept right away. Those who are slow-witted don’t have the mental capacity to compare and differentiate; so, they simply follow the words of others. Both of them comply with what is said in the 18th
Vow.
Generally, those who haven’t got great wisdom and are not very slow-witted, would like to compare, differentiate, think, hesitate, and doubt, For this reason, they need to study and learn more about the teaching of the 18th Vow, in order to clear their doubts.
人的根機不同,大智慧和最愚癡的人,要契合第十八願比較容易。
因為大智慧的人領悟力高,當下就可以掌握;愚癡的人,沒有那種頭腦去分別計較,別人怎麼說他就怎麼做,這樣也很符合第十八願。
往往那些不是大智慧也不是很笨的人,很會分別思慮計較、種種躊躇懷疑,這樣的人就比較需要對第十八願的道理多聞熏習,來破除疑惑。
Namo Amituofo!
