Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
The teaching should be received into the bottom of our hearts in accordance with the aptitudes of different individuals. However, we must nourish ourselves with extensive study through listening, then they will naturally and gradually enter deeply into our Alaya Consciousness. So, nourishing ourselves with extensive study through listening is emphasized in Buddhism.
Confucius also says, “Always practice learning”, “Receiving new knowledge through revision”, “Though a person can do it in one trial, he shouldn’t mind doing it after a hundred trials; though a person can do it by 10 trials, he shouldn’t mind doing it after a thousand trials.” Just study again and again. Continue repeatedly for a long period of time. In that way we can understand it thoroughly in one day.
法要入心,隨個人根機不同,但總在於多聞薰習,自自然然就能逐步的深入我們的阿賴耶識,所以佛教很強調「多聞薰習」。
儒家也說:「學而時習之」、「溫故而知新」、「人一能之己百之,人十能之己千之」,人家一次會的,我們就一百次,人家十次就會的,我們就一千次。
一次再一次,多次的、不斷的、長久的去薰習,終有一天就會徹入、通達。
Namo Amituofo!
