Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Contemplation Sutra
《佛說觀無量壽經》
Taking those in the lowest level of the low tier as an example, the Buddha reveals that Amitabha-recitation is the simplest and easiest method. Yet its rewards are most splendid and supreme. Though a practitioner has no merits within the three karmas, the dharma body of Amitabha solely possesses the merits that exceed those attained through meditative and non-meditative practices. He does not require the practitioner to do anything except accept his deliverance and recite his Name. This is the kind of Amitabha-recitation known as Name-recitation in accordance with the Fundamental Vow.
佛以下品下生之機,突顯本願稱名,方法至簡至易,功德最勝最上;雖行者三業無功,然彌陀法體獨顯,且功超定散,不藉機作,是為本願稱名之念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
