Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
It is said, “the meaning will be naturally revealed if we read the book a hundred times”. The meanings of the book will naturally brighten our minds. To say a hundred times doesn’t mean a hundred times exactly, it means to read more. We can understand more if we read more.
When I studied in a private school, the teacher seldom explained; but, asked us to memorize passages in the books. Though I didn’t understand the meanings of them at that time, I understood naturally the entire meanings of what I memorized through the experiences in my daily life.
所謂「書讀百遍,其義自現」,一本書若讀一百遍,書的道理自然就會在我們腦中發出光明,至於百遍也不是說一定要讀一百遍,而是多讀,多讀自然就會了解。
以前讀私塾的時候,老師很少解釋,都是要學生把文章背起來;雖然當時不了解文意,但隨著年歲的增長以及生活的歷練,以前所背的經文的道理,不知不覺就自然通達了。
Namo Amituofo!
