Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Deep Belief in Cause and Effect
深信因果
Basically, it is required to deeply believe in cause and effect in the Pure Land teaching. Hence, we should feel that our foolishness and capacity for wrongdoing exceed those of others, and that we aren’t qualified to argue with them.
It says in the Ksitigarbha Sutra, “When a thought arises in our minds, it is nothing but karma, and also an offense.” This means we always violate the law of cause and effect. In this way, we can gradually enter the door of the Pure Land teachings, which can change our temperaments.
淨土法門基本上要深信因果,然後「自覺愚惡,過於他人。」
像《地藏經》所講的:「起心動念,無不是業,無不是罪。」我們都是在犯因果。這樣的話,就能夠趣入這個淨土法門,這樣的話,也才能使氣質改變。
Namo Amituofo!
